Nashville mayor orders investigation after Covenant School shooter’s writings were posted online

On Monday, the mayor of Nashville, Tennessee, requested an inquiry following the circulation of images that are purported to be the writings of the individual responsible for the tragic shooting at The Covenant School in March, where six people lost their lives.

These three images of writings were made public on Monday by a conservative podcast and YouTube show host, with claims that they belong to the shooter.

Audrey Hale, aged 28, was fatally shot by law enforcement after opening fire on March 27 at the private Christian school, a place she had previously attended.

The assailant’s actions resulted in the tragic deaths of three children and three adults, NBC News reported.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell said he directed Metro Nashville Law Director Wally Dietz “to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released.”

“I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving,” O’Connell said in a statement.

Podcast host Steven Crowder uploaded the images online on Monday. The content within these images appears to contain language discussing the planning of a school shooting and a specific date.
