NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After two years of stonewalling and legal wrangling, the FBI has finally released 112 pages of handwritten notes, drawings, and journals recovered from Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter responsible for the brutal massacre at The Covenant School in Nashville on March 27, 2023. Hale murdered three children and three staff members in what authorities confirmed was a premeditated, solo attack on a Christian elementary school.
The release was quietly posted on the FBI’s “Vault” page ( embedded below) without context or public announcement. It follows a long legal battle led by The Tennessee Star and the Tennessee Firearms Association demanding transparency from federal authorities.
The documents reveal a chilling, hate-filled mindset—riddled with rage, religious rejection, and obsessive planning. Hale detailed her attack strategy, including maps of the school, faculty lists, and notes on school breaks, all intended to help her maximize casualties.
Key Takeaways from the Released Writings:
Anti-Christian and Anti-Police Rants: Hale penned disturbing screeds attacking Christians, straight people, law enforcement, and even members of the LGBTQ community. She described herself as “born wrong” and in “never-ending pain,” blaming religion for failing to save her.
Obsession with Guns and Violence: Ironically, while targeting a Christian school and railing against “crackers” and “d*kes,” Hale kept meticulous notes on firearm safety, defensive pistol courses, and situational awareness. She commented on upcoming gun shows and even criticized President Biden for pushing an “assault weapons” ban.
Meticulous Planning: Hale crafted “death day” to-do lists, planned her movements, made sketches of tactical gear, and studied other school shooters. She reportedly wanted her attack close to the anniversary of the Columbine shooting “to make history.”
Graphic Hate Speech: Multiple entries included vile, dehumanizing language targeting women, LGBTQ individuals, and police officers. One page screamed, “Kill all the dkes and those firly boy fggots… Let all the black police hang us.”
The Battle for Transparency
Parents of victims, school officials, and law enforcement had initially opposed the public release of Hale’s writings. But advocates for transparency and journalistic accountability argued the public had a right to understand what drove the attack—especially as national narratives downplayed Hale’s ideological motivations.
A Metro Nashville Police Department investigation, previously released in April, confirmed that Hale acted alone. No accomplices were found, and no others were implicated in the planning or execution of the attack.
Fallout and Reactions
The release reopens wounds in a community that is still healing. The Covenant School marked the second anniversary of the tragedy with a message of hope and resilience, quoting scripture and reaffirming faith in the face of evil.
Meanwhile, former Nashville officer Garet Davidson faces charges for allegedly leaking earlier versions of the shooter’s writings. The FBI’s delay in releasing the documents—combined with the aggressive prosecution of those who exposed them—has led to criticism from constitutional watchdogs and gun rights advocates.

A Moment for Reflection
For a well-informed, liberty-minded audience, this case is another grim reminder that evil doesn’t care about laws, gun-free zones, or political correctness. While the media plays word games and hides manifestos, the facts reveal that Hale’s attack was targeted, hateful, and ideologically charged.
When government agencies withhold the truth to protect narratives, the public is left vulnerable. And when the right to bear arms is threatened in response to such tragedies, the only people disarmed are the innocent.
The lesson is clear: Transparency matters. Truth matters. And so does the right to defend ourselves—because we can’t count on the government to do it for us.

Covenant School Fights Transparency Over Nashville Shooting Manifesto: What is Being Hidden?
I know this is redundant, but that thing had some serious issues!
And to think that the various LGBTQ++ groups claim that they’re normal.
FAT CHANCE!
The Biden regime had to suppress this manifesto and other evidence in order to maintain the lie that gender confused people are not confused nor are they a threat to self and others. Now that the documents are in the public sphere the truth can be told. The real generators of hate are the leftists who perpetuate and protect this dysfunction. If the Trump administration does nothing else or is prevented from doing anything else they are doing our country a great service by opening the books on all of the nefarious programs to destroy liberty and justice in America.… Read more »
The FBI and even the church swore this was too dangerous to release initially but I see nothing of the sort. That means this isn’t all of it. We are still being lied to
The term “crazy as a shithouse rat” leaps to mind. That and pain. They had pumped this poor creature full of male hormones, thinking they’d “fix” her physically, making, forcing, her body to conform to her madness and be a male. All men no the turmoil and angst of being a teenage boy, with those hormones raging NORMALLY. The medical community bears a larger part the responsibility for this girls act than even she does.
YOU DON’T REMAKE PEOPLE AWAY FROM WHAT GOD INTENDED.
Whats up with the redacted items in this whack job’s manifesto?
This is a link that has criticized the NPD report as being politically correct so as not to offend Hells accomplices.

Jesus is Lord.
Actually, there’s nothing there that’s uncommon for an immature person. Nnot everyone goes through this, but many people have similar feelings. Most don’t act on them. It’s too bad that nobody pointed out to this individual that, “I have to kill to be remembered” isn’t complete. The fact is that Audry Hale will be remembered for a while as a mentally defective and emotionally stunted child who thought that she was unique. The pain that she felt was real, and she thought that doing something that is forever “memorable” would mitigate that pain for the rest of her life, even… Read more »
It took the Fat Boy Institute long enough to release it. However the Fat Boys did do something good. They managed to arrest two Chinese nationals smuggling a biological crop killing pathogen into the US, just yesterday
I wonder why the Chinese would do that?
