'I think I just lost my daughter': Anguished words of transgender Nashville shooter's mom, as her Facebook posts decrying school shootings and calling for gun control emerge
Daily Mail UK ^ | March 28, 2023 | Stephen M. Lepore

The mom of the transgender school shooter who murdered six people including three nine-year-olds at a Nashville private school said 'I think I just lost my daughter' - as her own calls for increased gun control emerged.

Norma Hale spoke to ABC News shortly after her daughter Audrey Hale, 28, was named as the shooter.

She said: 'It's very, very difficult right now. I think I lost my daughter today.' Norma then requested privacy as her family struggles to cope with the magnitude of her late daughter's actions.

Hale, who was born female, is believed to have been living as a man called Aiden despite using her female name on social media.

But Nashville officials continue to refer to the killer using female pronouns. Cops have also released footage of Hale carrying out the rampage, as well as images of three of the guns she used to do so.

She left a detailed manifesto and plan for the shooting at her home, and another in her car. Cops have yet to disclose its contents or a motive, but Nashville Metro PD Chief John Drake told NBC News he believed 'resentment' lay at the core of her behavior.

Norma's own posts decrying school shootings and calling for increased gun control have emerged in the wake of Hale's massacre at the school she once attended.

On February 21, 2018, Norma posted a petition to make large-capacity gun magazines illegal to her page as a response to the horrors at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

And on March 8, 2018, she posted a petition to keep guns out of schools with the caption: 'So important!'

Do we know that the mother supported her daughter’s psychoses?

The mother, Norma, had two children: a daughter named Audrey and a son named Scott. She didn’t have two sons.

She refers to her daughter as Audrey because that’s the name she gave her as an infant.

Audrey decided to be called “Aiden” in the last couple of years.

She apparently eschews her daughter’s preferred pronouns. God knows that’s a trigger for some of them.

There are only two paths, accept the gift of the Creator or walk the dark side. I hope she chooses light, but dark seems to be her comfort zone.

It wasn’t a “daughter”, it was a son...

I am not sure if you a posting satirically, and as a result using the preferred pronouns of the shooter, but all of the media reports today are stating that the shooter was a biological female who as a young adult decided they wanted to act and appear as a male.

Don’t forget that the Uvalde shooter was trans/non-binary/gender fluid or some such as well. Funny how that is never mentioned.

Actually she was born a female, and you cannot change that. She was a pretend male.

How in the world can a human draw down on an innocent person especially a child and pull the trigger multiple times. That is pure hate and evil.

Her first thought was FOR HER - “I lost my daughter”, how narcissistic. No mention of the 6 other lives her kid took. She thinks she’s going to get sympathy.

The fact that the mother doesn’t use the daughter’s male pronouns suggests that she didn’t support her transgender delusions. There are reports that the mother was Christian and worked at a religious school, so she may have held traditional views on gender. Would not suprise me if there were deep disagreement between that was a factor in the daughter’s actions. My impression is that her shooting up a Christian school was, at least in part, a viciously cruel way of inflicting some sort of punishment on her mother.

Even if you outlaw all guns today, how long would it take to round up the estimated 300 million guns in the US? 50 years? 100? And the criminals would sure turn theirs in, right?

This right here. The irony that it was an AR that sent this degenerate demon back to hell.

I thought the shooter had attended the christian school which would add to your understanding of the mother maybe not being the evil we are presuming, but then again its still sick to think of your own loss when your child killed others

I read somewhere that the mother worked at a different school than the one her daughter had attended and later shot up. What the mother verbalized to the cameras may not reflect the breadth of what she’s feeling. Unless she’s just a totally awful person, which I think is unlikely, then I would say she’s totally devastated by all of the lives lost.
