Covenant Killer Audrey Hale Used Federal Pell Grant Funds to Buy Guns She Used in March 2023 Mass Shooting at Christian School
Tennessee Star ^ | 6-7-24 | Matthew Giffin

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.”

I don’t recall the Pell Grants going directly to the student when I was in school. I recall they went to the school.

And the question remains, why are so many of these ‘trannies’ so violent?

Because they are flooding their bodies with powerful drugs that their body has no idea how to handle.

Take any normal person and give them mega doses of either estrogen or testosterone and they will become emotionally unbalanced.

Add in the fact that they are so unhappy with who they are that they will do anything to become another person and you have a recipe for disaster. Either they kill themselves or they kill other people.

This is the totally predictable outcome.

Because anyone who looks in the mirror as a man or woman and sees the opposite is not mentally stable and never will be.

I got a Pell Grant years ago and there is no CO trips on what you spend the money on. It is expected it will be use to pay for something educationally connected, but that can be books, tuition room and board, whatever.

Info on this case has been suppressed by police dept at urging of FBI along with some of victims families. Public has been rightfully frustrated and outraged at lack of transparency.

Story is finally leaking out thanks to the Tennessee Star and our wonderful talk radio guy Brian Wilson at 99.7 WTN

“Wonder if Biden forgave his/her loans as well?”

Pell grants with a few exceptions are pure social welfare. They are not repaid.

There is no legitimate reason that the case remains open 15 months later.

I assume there are supposed to be some restrictions on how the money can be spent

Not when I was in collage.

As long as you are attending collage and getting acceptable grades the money can be used as you like.

I knew one guy who would would use it to buy Raman, canned soup and other collage food staples in bulk so he would be sure of not going hungry during the quarter.
