'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!'

Another failure as a parent.
It was too hard to do the right thing, so she opted for the easy way.
Didn’t want to be a parent, wanted to be a friend.
Now your child is dead, and she murdered 6 people because of your failure.

The mother should decry sex changes and gender confusion and mental illness, she has a front row seat for that. It’s not the guns, it’s the parents and others not getting help for thee confused kids, and in the end it is the kid that is obviously also primarily to blame.

Gee Norma…. Were you supportive of your daughter's delusion? Instead of posting your ignorant opinions on guns you should have instead sought treatment for her mental illness. 6 people would still be here if you had.

There have been gun enthusiasts, gun rights advocates, whose children became mass shooters.

Good parents can have children who go off the rails, go crazy or go bad.

Prayers for the woman who has lost her daughter and carries the grief of the evil and devastation wrought by her child.

What did anyone expect by shoving massive doses of testosterone into a girl?

Thats right. Anyone who cannot identify their sex on gun purchase form should be immediately denied and red flagged.

And, you just watch, the commie trash MSM will say that that was the reason why she (yes, SHE) started shooting.

She was provoked by hate speech I tell yah! Those little kids deserved to die ‘cause they told her she looked like a girl.

She lost her son, no? That monster pretended she was a boy. And I have more sympathy for the parents and families of the victims who lost their loved ones. This woman should have had her kid in a mental ward. None of this would have happened.

Hale's LinkedIn profile suggested they were now living as a man

I'm confused as to what "they" refers to? A man and a woman in the same body? Lord help us.

Found him... mentioned in another article:
...Church coordinator Norma, 61, and her husband Ronald, 64, refused to let Hale - who had recently adopted the name Aiden and used he/him pronouns - dress as a man in their home. The 28-year-old loner would instead wait until she left their $700,000 Nashville property to change outfits, according to a well-placed source.* 'You only see what you want to see. Their religion does not allow them to accept homosexuality,' the source told DailyMail.com.

Why the anonymity of such a "well placed spurce?" This isn't a spy case, it is just a criminal case. Unless the source is a known LGBTQ or gun control activist/influencer who really doesn't know the girl but wants to direct the debate and reporting on key 2024 issues.

My sister...who is straight... used to do this to my folks because they wouldn’t let her dress like a hippie.

My sister went on to get awards for marksmanship in the Army but no matter how resentful she never went on a school shooting rampage and never plotted to kill our parents.

You lost her a long time ago, you selfish thing, and at her hands several other parents lost their children.

Get over yourself.

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.

Demon possession.

Some are saying possible abuse in the house when she was younger by the father most likely. Time will tell but it wouldn’t surprise me.

She was born a gal and was either transitioning to a guy or did it already.

We can’t even get them to say Hispanic. No way will they use those jumbled words.
