RWNJs already spreading unconfirmed reports that it was a trans shooter
I've seen two different people offered up as the trans person who did the shooting.
Didn't take them long to come up with that.

15. Apparently it turns out to be true.
How does that fit into any motive for the shooting, if at all? Time will tell if we ever find out.
And then, wait for it...

19. Speculation: bullied/abused and lashed out?

16. It is apparently true.
Not glancing at lefty sites, but I'm guessing they'll blame trans bullies and the Republican Governor for being anti Trans. The narrative will evolve, as leftist speak usually requires the party prescribed talking points.
Just for a factual news story:
Police Confirm Nashville School Shooting Suspect Identified as Transgender
Nashville Police Chief John Drake confirmed to reporters Monday afternoon the suspect in the shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee identified as transgender.
Drake said the investigation into 28-year-old Audrey E. Hale has revealed she was a student at the Covenant School. Hale's LinkedIn had her pronouns as "he/him." The shooting left three students and three adults dead. Responding police killed Hale inside the school within 14 minutes of the first call of the shooting.
Drake further said the transgender shooter had an AR-style rifle, an AR-style pistol, and a handgun. So far, they believe two of the guns were bought locally and legally. He added the shooting was heavily planned, "We have a manifesto ... and a map of how all of this was going to play out."
Hale identifying as transgender could point to motivation for the attack as Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) signed a bill banning transitioning medical services for children earlier this month. Puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and surgeries are not allowed to be given to children under the new law, according to the Tennesseean.
