Nashville Police Department Releases Statement Addressing Alleged School Shooter Manifesto
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | November 06, 2023 | Nicole Silverio

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) said Monday the three images alleged to be part of the Christian Covenant School shooter’s manifesto are not “crime scene images.”

Conservative political commentator Steven Crowder posted photographs of three pages which he alleged are part of a manifesto written by the now-deceased Audrey Hale, who killed six people inside the Covenant School with a firearm in Nashville, Tennessee, back in March. An officer killed Hale as she continued opening fire on the second floor of the building.

“The MNPD is in communication with the Metropolitan Department of Law as an investigation, begun this morning, continues into the dissemination of three photographs of writings during an on-line discussion about Covenant School. The photographs are not MNPD crime scene images,” the statement reads.

Authorities confirmed they discovered a manifesto written by Hale in which she had allegedly planned the attack for several weeks. Following the shooting, authorities obtained the manifesto, which is under an ongoing investigation by the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU).

The MNPD told the Daily Caller earlier Monday that they currently “don’t know” whether the three pages are authentic.

“I don’t know at this time,” a spokeswoman told the Daily Caller via phone call in response to whether they could confirm the authenticity of the pages. A spokesperson later told the Caller they had no update on the information as the department is still looking into the matter.

“The police department has been in contact with a representative of Covenant families,” the statement continues. “Police department counselors are available to assist them in coping with the emotional trauma caused by the dissemination.”

A police spokeswoman also told Fox News they are “aware” of a possible leak of the manifesto. David Raybin, an attorney representing Hale’s parents, said he could not confirm the pages’ authenticity, according to WSMV4, a local NBC affiliated outlet.

...

We have never seen a manifesto at any time. We’re not in a position to authenticate these pieces of paper. We have absolutely not released anything, but we certainly did not release this,” Raybin said. “It’s inappropriate for me to make any further comment about it.”

Crowder posted photos of a notebook, in which the first page was headlined “DEATH DAY,” where it describes the writer’s excitement to shoot people inside the school and have a “high death count.” The next alleged page reads “kill those kids!” at the top, followed by “those crackers,” a derogatory term for white people.

“Kill those kids! Those crackers,” the page posted by Crowder reads. “Going to private fancy schools with those fancy kwackis + sports backpacks with their daddies mustangs + convertibles. Fuck you little shits. I wish to shoot you[r] weak ass dicks w/your mop yellow hair, wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little faggots w/your white privileges fuck you faggots.”

...

The next alleged page shows a schedule of the day leading up to the shooting, listing 12:33 p.m. as the time to “open fire” and then “die” soon after, according to the photograph posted by Crowder.

...

Shortly after the shooting, authorities revealed that Hale was a female who identified as a male and worked as an artist. She had bought seven firearms legally despite medical professionals’ concerns about her mental state, and law enforcement previously said they would have confiscated her firearms if they had been made aware of the concerns.

Nashville Metro Police Department told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) in late March that they were not publicly releasing the manifesto due to an “open investigation.” The BAU was investigating the manifesto that had been previously reported to have “maps” and “writings” detailing Hale’s plan to shoot up the building.

A Nashville city council member assured the DCNF that the manifesto would eventually be released to the public.

“Audrey Hale does not appear to be a black woman.”

Neither does Kamala Harris.

“First, it undermines the credibility of Big City Democrats.”

When did they ever have any to undermine?

That is a clear cut denial of their legitimacy.

No, it's a statement that Nashville police have not seen it.

Was this kid black? Because the words certainly sound like they were written by a black kid, probably lifted from some dimwitted rap "song".

"We have never seen a manifesto at any time. We’re not in a position to authenticate these pieces of paper. "

All they're saying is:

  1. This isn't a "manifesto." OK, it's more like a planning document. (But there is a manifesto-equivalent: the unreleased video.)
  2. They aren't "in a position to authenticate" the document -- notice the weasel words. That just means that the person speaking doesn't have the authority to say it's real, or hasn't actually checked the document in detail, or simply doesn't like the consequences of saying it's real.

Once again they all knew and they did nothing but stand by and watch, if we would have known “it” purchased fire arms we would have confiscated them”............. Uh bullsh##

Three lousy pages out of how many? Let’s have it all, warts and all. Society needs to understand what really happened in this case. What makes a ticking time bomb like her tick? I think her age had a lot to do with it. If she hadn’t have done it, she’d probably be participating in pro-HAMAS demonstrations.

Did you just move to America from another planet? It’s nothing close to a clear cut denial. Confused? Define “manifesto.” These pages are not a manifesto. They are diary entries. I’m not kidding. This is what their statement means.

Indeed we are. I’ve been saying this for years. Regular people are finally realizing it too.

Could be wordsmithing. Non official photos taken at the crime scene aren’t “Crime scene photos”, merely photos from the same location.

Police brass, military, government, and corporate managers say tons of words and yet say nothing.

An early report revealed that her tranny fantasy was to be a black man so she could rape white women. Hence all the nasty “cracker” comments. You can be sure her manifesto reveals this and a lot of other sick stuff. Is it any wonder the feds want to keep it under lock and key (cf. Hunter’s laptop)?

The only pic of her dead body with any view of her shoes that I could find is this ...

Neither the pic I posted nor this one has really good detail of the shoes but they look the same to me.
