Officers run down the hall to the end of the lounge where the suspect is seen falling to the floor after being shot.

Police identified the attacker as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a 28-year-old former student at Covenant School. Investigators are looking into what they call a “manifesto” left by Gale in hopes of learning what motivated the school shooting.

Monday’s violence marked the 90th school shooting in the U.S. this year, which is defined as any incident in which a weapon is fired on school grounds, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database. , a site founded by researcher David Ridman. . There were 303 such incidents last year, the most of any year, according to the database, which records attacks since 1970.

During a news conference, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale identified himself as transgender, though Drake did not provide any additional details.

Drake and other officials repeatedly referred to the suspect by female pronouns, although Gale used male pronouns on a LinkedIn page that listed recent jobs in fields such as graphic design and product delivery.

Drake said Hale had a detailed hand-drawn map of the school that showed various entry points. Hale was armed with two assault rifles as well as a 9 mm handgun, authorities said.

Later in a televised interview with NBC News, John Drake said investigators believe the shooting stemmed from “some resentment” the suspect had “for having to go to this school” when she was younger.

The police chief did not clarify the nature of this alleged insult, whether it was related to the gender of the suspect or the Christian orientation of the school. Drake said the school was deliberately chosen for the attack, but the victims were targeted at random.

Who are the victims of Audrey Elizabeth Hale

The three children killed were identified as Evelyn Dickhouse, Holly Scruggs and William Kinney. Also shot were adults Catherine Koons, 60, who was the school’s principal, Mike Hill, 61, a custodian, and Cynthia Peek, 61, who was a substitute teacher.

Scruggs’ father, Chad, is a pastor at the school’s affiliate, Covenant Presbyterian Church. In a statement to ABC News, he said family members are grieving.

“Through our tears, we believe that she is in the arms of Jesus, who will raise her to life,” the statement said.

Nashville police responded quickly, unlike other cases

Nashville police began receiving calls about the shooter at 10:13 a.m., spokesman Don Aaron told reporters. The suspect was pronounced dead at 10:27 a.m.

“The police response was quick,” Aaron said.

Camera footage showed officers quickly searching for the gunman, in contrast to videos that showed police in Uvalde, Texas, waiting at an elementary school for more than an hour in May while a gunman was in a classroom and continued to attack, resulting in in which 21 people died. 19 children and two adults.

In 2018, police officers responding to a school shooting in Parkland, Florida, stayed outside the building and did not immediately begin searching for a suspect, according to a state board investigation. Seventeen students and staff were killed in the attack.

Both incidents prompted a reexamination of police protocols for active shooters, which require officers to immediately engage a suspect to prevent further loss of life.

The video from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department begins with an officer pulling a rifle from his trunk and being told by a school employee that the facility is on lockdown but two children are missing.

“Let’s go! I need three!” shouts the officer as he uses the key to open the door and enter the building where the alarm is sounding.

The video shows police checking camera after camera. As the officers head up to the second floor, one of them says, “We’ve got one,” before running down the hall to confront the attackers.

Officer Rex Engelbert and Officer Michael Collazo, whose body cameras provided video, both shoot the suspect. The video shows the attacker still writhing on the ground while another police officer repeatedly yells, “Get your hands off the gun!”

Earlier, police released surveillance footage showing the attackers arriving at the school.
