FBI: Nashville Christian school shooter Audrey Hale used student financial aid to purchase firearms

The Trump administration’s FBI has released more than 100 additional pages of writings from Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter...

These newly unclassified documents, part of a massive collection of notebooks and journals, offer a chilling look into the planning and financing of the assault that claimed the lives of three children and three adults.

Hale, a biological woman who identified as a transgender man, used federal student financial aid, specifically Pell Grants, to fund the purchase of firearms used in the heinous 2023 attack.

The FBI-released documents reportedly include Hale’s handwritten “Account Savings Record” page, tracking federal Pell Grant funds received via FAFSA, starting with checks around $2,050–$2,656 from Nossi College of Art and Design, where Hale was enrolled.

Hale, being over 25 and unemployed, had qualified for Pell Grants independently of family income, and used the money to buy seven guns...

The page was placed immediately alongside or near entries detailing firearms she planned to purchase. This report also corroborates statements Hale’s parents made to Nashville police investigators in 2023.

The released materials include a redacted 230-page planning journal, hand-drawn maps, and home videos documenting preparations. The notes date back to 2021, indicating a lengthy and well-thought-out plan.

Examples of financed weapon purchases include: a KelTec Sub 2000 carbine in April 2021 and a Mossberg Shockwave shotgun in June 2021, bought with leftover grant money; a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistol in July 2021, partially funded by loan leftovers and a credit card; and initial guns like a Smith & Wesson M&P-15 AR-style rifle in October 2020, bought with federal student loans.

She reportedly sold some firearms, such as the M&P-15 AR-style rifle, to fund other weapon purchases, simultaneously hiding purchases from her family and her therapist by using cash where possible and deleting transaction histories.

We need Nationwide Common Sense Tranny Control.

Additionally, all Trannys should be kept locked up to prevent children from having access to the most deadly threat to children yet created!

We need to stop “need” based student financial aid and make it strictly merit based privately funded scholarships.

No more government cheese to grift.

Pell grants should be paid to the institution, not to the individual. If the kid doesn’t show up, the grant is forfeited.

When I went to college in the 70’s we never got actual possession of student loan monies. A check was sent directly to the college bursar’s office which exactly covered the tuition owed.

Makes sense why Government Paycheck-Receivers (GPRs) fought the release of the tranifesto.

Taxpayer money paid for weapons that a mentally ill woman used to kill children.

Journalist Michael Patrick Leahy is facing jail at a hearing tomorrow because he published information from long-hidden journal of Covenant Killer Audrey Hale..

The lawfully obtained information comes from records that should already be public. Information that we have a right to know.

Nashville Police confirm authenticity of Covenant Killer Audrey Hale journal pages obtained by The Tennessee Star.
