Former assistant attorney general Jen Wright questioned the location of videos made by the Nashville, Tennessee school shooter, as identified in the manifesto leaked Monday.
Wright drew attention to a detail in one of the manifesto pages, obtained exclusively by conservative pundit Steven Crowder through “Louder With Crowder.” That page detailed shooter Aiden (nee Audrey) Hale’s proposed “Death Day” schedule — the day where she would take the lives of three children and three faculty members at The Covenant School.
“11:20 am – Final Video Tape (10 min),” read the schedule.
However, Hale deviated from the leaked manifesto schedule. She entered The Covenant School shortly after 10 am. The other two leaked manifesto pages were dated Feb. 3, 2023 and March 27, 2023, the latter dated for the day of the shooting.
The reasons for Hale’s massacre have largely been up for speculation, due to law enforcement’s refusal to release Hale’s writings.
The former page from February, titled “Kill Those Kids,” appeared to be a poem of sorts expressing her hatred for white, well-off children. Hale had attended The Covenant School herself.
“Kill those kids!!! Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis [and] sports backpacks [with] thier [sic] daddies mustangs [and] convertables [sic]. F**k you little s***s[;] I wish to shoot you weaka** d***s [with] your mop yellow hair[.] Wanna [sic] kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little f*****s [with] your white privlages [sic] [;] f**k you f*****s[.]”
In the latter page from the day of the shooting, titled “Dark Abyss: Death Day,” Hale expressed the hope that she would kill many people, and issued a prayer of sorts to God to help her kill. Hale referenced a time in 2021 when she was nearly “caught” planning a mass shooting. More information on that detail has not surfaced.
“Today is the day. The day has finally come! I can’t believe it’s here. Don’t know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I’m a little nervous, but excited too. Been excited for the past 2 weeks. There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now. I’m almost an hour [and] 7 minutes away. Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready… I hope my victims aren’t. My only fear is if anything goes wrong. I’ll do my best to prevent any of the sort. (God let my wrath take over my anxiety). It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7. It’s gunna [sic] go quick. I hope I have a high death count. Ready to Die. Haha. Aiden.”
The leaked manifesto pages represent just three of many others that have yet to be released by law enforcement. As journalists have pointed out, law enforcement seized up to 20 journals, a suicide note, other miscellaneous notes, a psychiatric/medical folder, three home videos, several cell phones, multiple computers and hard drives. None of these other materials have been released.
Hale was a woman who identified as a transgender man.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell has ordered an investigation into the origin of the leak.
