Chilling footage: the moment Nashville shooter Audrey Hale is taken down

The manifesto of the Nashville primary school shooter Audrey Hale allegedly shows her child victims were racially targeted for their blonde hair and “white privilege”.

After months of suppression by law enforcement, pages of the killer’s “Death Day” diary were allegedly leaked to an American political commentator who released the disturbing writings of the killer, who identified as transgender and went by the alias “Aiden”.

Hale, 28, killed three children and three adults at the Covenant School in March. Metro Nashville Police said “collective writings” were found on the scene in the vehicle of Hale, who was killed in a shootout at the school, but had refused to release them.

“Kill those kids!!!”, a diary entry on February 2nd begins. “F*ck you little shits. I wish to shoot you weak-a** d*cks w/ your mop yellow hair.

“Wanna kill all you little crackers,” Hale continued, using a racial slur for white people. “Bunch of little f*ggots w/ your white privilege.”

While the leak has not been officially verified, Metro Nashville Police said they were aware of the claims made during the live talk show of US conservative personality Stephen Crowder, and that they were actively looking into the matter.

Sources within the Tennessee General Assembly who have viewed the manifesto confirmed to The Tennessee Star that the documents were authentic.

Crowder released photos of three entries of Hale’s writings on X, with the “Death Day” showing a schedule of the premeditated mass shooting.

“I’m a little nervous, but excited too. Been excited for the past two weeks,” reads the entry dated March 27.

“Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready … I hope my victims aren’t.

“I hope I have a high death count. Ready to die haha,” signed off Hale.

A schedule of the day from 6.30am with “get dressed” to “eat breakfast” and about six hours later with “open fire” and “time 2 die”.

Hale’s six victims included Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all age nine, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.

Metro Nashville Council Member Courtney Johnston previously said the FBI ruled the manifesto would not be released as the document in the wrong person’s hands would be “astronomically dangerous”.

“What I was told is, her manifesto was a blueprint on total destruction, and it was so, so detailed at the level of what she had planned,” she told The New York Post.

Lawyer David Raybin, who represents the shooter’s family, said they did not leak the manifesto nor could they authenticate its validity.

“I have never seen the so-called manifesto and neither have my clients,” Raybin said, according to Nashville’s News Channel 5.

Investigators seized 20 notebooks, five computers, a suicide note, Covenant School yearbooks and other notes written by Hale during a search of the home, according to a search warrant.

In August, a police spokesperson said the investigation reached the point where the writings were being “reviewed for public release”, according to Fox News Digital.

The closest indication of the manifesto contents given by police was of the document obtained from Hale’s car that revealed a “calculated and planned” attack.

The images released by Crowder showed Hale targeted the children for “going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles”.

“I can’t believe it’s here. Don’t know how I was able to get this far, but here I am,” Hale allegedly wrote on the day of the shooting.

“There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now.”
