Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale reportedly used funds from a federal Pell Grant to buy the guns she used to perpetrate a mass shooting in March 2023.

99.7 WTN afternoon radio host Brian Wilson reported Wednesday that Hale “took money from an education grant she received to purchase her weapons and to pay for training at a local gun range.”

Hale purchased seven guns, three of which were recovered from the Covenant School after she died during an encounter with Metro Nashville Police Department officers, police said at the time in a post to X. She killed six people, including three children.

Four more guns, including a sawed-off shotgun and a second shotgun, among other items, were recovered by police at Hale’s parents’ home in the Belmont-Hillsboro neighborhood, MNPD said in a news release the day of the shooting.

The Tennessee Star emailed MNPD to ask if it would provide information regarding the make and model of the guns Hale owned, where they were purchased, and what they cost. MNPD declined to answer, saying that “materials included in the open investigative file are protected.”

It used taxpayer $$$ to buy the weapon used.

Why is this investigation still open?

To provide an excuse against transparency?

Who is hiding what?

[mykroar]

Clearly the only answer is to rescind 2A. /s

[IncPen]

Wonder if Biden forgave his/her loans as well?

to purchase her weapons and to pay for training at a local gun range.”
= = =

And TRAINING - Thats what a Pell Grant is for right?

[Spktyr]

Same reasons that Alec Baldwin was only charged this year for shootings more than a year in the past.

[Scrambler Bob]

And the gun is lab equipment.

Find a white democrat and 9/10 they are getting government cheese.

Did I miss anything, have we still not been able to read Miss Hale’s manifesto (or whatever anyone chooses to term the doc)?

[Deo volente]

I’m glad the two cops were quick on the draw and prevented many more deaths. This was no Uvalde, thankfully.
And the question remains, why are so many of these ‘trannies’ so violent? We’re always told they’re happy to realize their true identity. It’s obvious something is really wrong here.

First thought is they're trying to develop case(s) to prosecute some peripheral people with, to put the stink on, but it's been over a year now - what's the hold up.

Don't think "manifesto"is even a right descriptor - more like a collection of crazy spread across multiple notebooks and electronic devices. Bits and pieces scattered everywhere that's going to have to be compiled into something readable.

your tax dollars at work... hers anyway

[smokingfrog]

It was a grant, not a loan.
I assume there are supposed to be some restrictions on how the money can be spent, but doubt that it is very strictly enforced.

[grobdriver]

Hale purchased seven guns

All at once?

The BATF&E stepped right up to that.

[Flag_This]

Didn’t James Holmes, the Aurora Theater shooter, use educational grants to pay for his weapons and ammunition?

[Seaplaner]

Agreed.

I might add that the compilation would need to be done in the light of day, and all (all) of the writings should be posted online as a QC measure.

[JoeRender]

If the investigation is still open they can keep it secret. Janet Reno pulled the same crap.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

That would be the trick - getting it honest. Raw and unedited, in its entirety.

Hiding the fact that a disproportionate number of delusional she-hes are responsible for mass shootings.
