The Tennessee Star has released all 90 pages of the “manifesto” of Audrey Hale, the trans-identified shooter who killed six people at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee last year. The journal had remained under seal from the Metro Nashville Police Department after the FBI sent the local law enforcement agency a memo stating that it “strongly discourages” the release of so-called “legacy tokens” because of concerns that future mass shooters would “immerse themselves in and study these materials for inspiration and tactics.” Critics of the move to keep the document confidential theorized that there was an effort to hide that...

We have had a First Amendment right to publish these unredacted documents from the moment we legally obtained them...' The Tennessee Star released on Tuesday the purported manifesto of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale, who killed three 9-year-old children and three adult staff members at the Covenant School on March 27, 2023. Much of the material in Hale’s 90 pages of writings has already been reported, including her rantings about her gender. “So now in America, it makes one a criminal to have a gun or, be transgender, or non-binary,” Hale wrote in one journal entry. “God I hate those...

People in the age group of the shooter generally have a significant amount of social media history associated with them. Nearly 24 hours after the attempted assassination yet I have seen little or nothing.

A Tennessee judge on July 4 denied the release of the Covenant School shooter's writings, stating that doing so might present a security risk to the Nashville private school. The ruling came in response to Brewer, et al. vs. Metropolitan Government of Nashville, et al., in which several parties, including the National Police Association and Tennessee Firearms Association, sued the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) for access to records related to the Nov. 27, 2023, school shooting that left six dead, including Mike Hill, 61; Cynthia Peak, 61; Katherine Koonce, 60; and 9-year-olds Hallie Scruggs, Evelyn Dieckhaus and William Kinney....

A Nashville, Tennessee, judge ruled on Thursday night that shooter Audrey Hale's writings cannot be released to the public in a move supported by the victims' families. On March 27, 2023, Hale entered Nashville's private The Covenant School with three firearms and shot and killed six people. The victims were three 9-year-old students and three adults. The 28-year-old Hale, who was identified by police as transgender and was once a former student at the school, was fatally shot by Metro Nashville Police Department officers. Just before midnight on Thursday, Judge I'Ashea Myles ruled that "the original writings, journals, art, photos...

In the Covenant School Shooting of 2023, a transvestite woman, Audrey Hale, murdered 6 people at a Christian private school before being put down by law enforcement. In recent weeks many details have emerged about Audrey Hale’s motivations, including swaths of her manifesto being leaked by various media outlets. The Southern Baptist Convention, helmed by the liberal Brent Leatherwood, has fought tooth and nail to prevent the manifesto’s public release. So far the manifesto has confirmed the strong connection between pornography and transgenderism while also expressing anti-Christian motivations. The investigation is still ongoing, and the Tennessee Star reported a bombshell...

Tennessee Star editor-in-chief Michael Patrick Leahy unveiled the Nashville Covenant School mass shooter's personal writings earlier this month, but no mainstream news outlets appear to have reported about the revelations, and only one has reported on the subsequent legal battle that Leahy faces for uncovering the documents. Additionally, while journalists' rights organizations traditionally would have provided counsel to a reporter like Leahy in court, few are willing to comment on the case, and Leahy is being represented by America First Legal and Daniel Horwitz, a Nashville-based attorney who focuses on the First Amendment. Outlets such as Fox News, CNN, The...

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.

Editor’s Note: The following information is deeply disturbing and explicit. Reader discretion is advised. CV NEWS FEED // The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh analyzed the “manifesto” of a “transgender” gunwoman who murdered six people at a Nashville Christian school in March 2023. On Wednesday, Walsh posted several alleged photographs of the “manifesto” to his X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote on the platform that the writings are evidence of the 28-year-old woman’s “anti-Christian, pro-trans, and perverse ideas.” “In one passage, the shooter rails against ‘Christian friends’ that her parents have encouraged her to make,” Walsh noted. “She writes, ‘Parents actually...

The other day, we talked about how the Daily Mail had gotten a copy of at least some Audrey Hale’s (a.k.a. the Nashville Transgender Shooter) so called manifesto. And, today, Matt Walsh has more of it. Except before we dig in, we think we have to correct the record. What this actually seems to be is writings in a diary, as opposed to a well-thought-out document that tells you specifically why she did this. Such a document can give you a strong idea why she did it, it’s not the same thing as a document that says “this is why...

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,...

Transgender killer Audrey Hale wrote about her 'imaginary penis' and how she would 'kill' to get puberty blockers in the weeks before her horrific attack on the Covenant School in Nashville last year. The Tennessee Star obtained some four dozen pages of Hale's writings that shed light on her female-to-male transition and why she shot and killed six people at the elementary school in March 2023. Hale wrote about anger toward her parents, how she hated her conservative Christian upbringing, and how she had suffered because hormone blockers were not available when she was as a child.

Over the weekend, this editor did a piece on Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" getting free pride-themed weapons camouflage in honor of Pride Month. The tone-deaf tweet showed a hand holding transgender flag-colored ammunition. Um....did you think this one through? @Activision @CallofDuty We just started PRIDE and we already have the worst virtue signal of the year. If the news media actually covered what was happening with mass shootings, they would know. But they either don't know, or don't care. pic.twitter.com/o0yXJJ6ifP — Grummz (@Grummz) June 3, 2024 A lot of people in the replies posted links to a news...

More than 14 months after a trans psychopath stormed into Nashville’s Covenant School and gunned down three 9-year-olds and three staff members, the police department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation refuse to publicly release the killer’s “manifesto.” A newly obtained FBI memo to Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake suggests what many have long suspected: President Joe Biden’s identity politics-steeped Department of Justice is leading a cover-up of the deadliest transgender-directed shootings in U.S. history. “We have a lot of other documents from the investigation in our possession. And after reviewing them … I will tell you I am...

A retired Nashville-area police officer alleges that a psychologist who treated [the] shoot[er] in the 2023 Covenant School massacre referred her to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center psychiatric department before the killings. The claim was made by Tuesday by retired Metro Nashville Police Department Lt. Garet Davidson. He said that shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, who took her own life on the day of the killings, was referred to the medical center for treatment after she had fantasies about violence, according to a report from the Tennessee Star.

Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale reportedly told her therapist that she was fantasizing about killing her family and committing a school shooting, according to a report by 99.7 WTN radio host Brian Wilson. The therapist reportedly did not report these findings to authorities. 99.7 WTN host Brian Wilson: The ongoing investigation apparently focuses on the shooter’s therapist. Metro Nashville Police Department is remaining silent on this, but sources familiar with the investigation confirm that search warrants were run on the home and office of the therapist in an effort to obtain notes of the therapy sessions with the Covenant...

U.S. District Court Judge Aleta A. Trauger sided with the Tennessee Star last month, in seeking all the written documents from shooter Audrey Hale, which resulted in the deaths of three students and three faculty members. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The FBI has turned over writings from the Covenant school shooter to a federal judge, including the killer’s manifesto, which will be read privately by the judge. Star News Digital Media Inc., the parent company of The Tennessee Star, sued the FBI in May claiming the bureau had violated the First Amendment by rejecting multiple Freedom of Information Act requests for the Covenant...

Whether the journals of a Nashville school shooter can be released to the public will go before a Tennessee judge on Tuesday after nearly a year of legal wrangling over who can participate in the case. What started as a simple public records request has ballooned into a messy mix of conspiracy theories, leaked documents, probate battles and new legislation as different sides try to gain an advantage. And even though the main issue of which police investigative records can be released has finally made it to a court hearing, any decision by Chancery Court Judge I’Ashea Myles is likely...

A bishop and three worshippers have been attacked in another stabbing rampage to rock Sydney, as riot police have been called in to quell mounting tensions in the city's west. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's west on Monday just after 7pm when a man dressed in black walked up to the altar and allegedly stabbed him multiple times.
