The mother of the Nashville school shooter who killed six people – including three 9-year-olds – appeared to be a gun control activist who once urged friends on Facebook to sign a petition calling to keep firearms out of schools.

“So important!” Norma Hale wrote in a March 8, 2018 Facebook post as she shared the petition that stated “Keep Guns Out of School” that appeared to be from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.

The webpage’s domain to the petition did not appear to exist anymore.

In another post from Feb. 21, 2018, Hale shared another petition from Sandy Hook Promise urging lawmakers to “Make Large-Capacity Gun Magazines Illegal.”

Audrey Hale's mother Norma Hale is pro-gun control. She posted many pro-gun control posts on social media.

Oh darlin' ...

Audrey Hale's mother is far more than simply a pro-gun control moron.

She also gave birth to what became known as a "transgendered" adult ...

For which, I think,  she had to be very responsible in causing the poor child's  thinking about his self-worth and his body!

Enough of this revolting subject!

Mercy!  Did I ever get it wrong.      

Audrey Hale was indeed a female, not a male, identifying as a female.

This story has been so confusing to follow because most reporting has been using different gender identities depending on the source. Not surprising, considering the Democrat party's theme song is Lola after all.

Media-speak obscures. They cannot bring themselves to say, "a female who thinks she is a male" or the reverse. Accuracy is too un-PC.

From https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:P7eoo_8vDP4J:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/audrey-hale-nashville-school-shooting-b2309043.html&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us :

A LinkedIn account suggests Hale was an illustrator and graphic designer based in Nashville. The account says Hale was working for AH Illustrations and had previously been an illustrator at Nossi College of Art. It also mentions jobs with Grocery Shopper and as a cat sitter.

So she was 28, still lived with her parents, and despite claiming to have been an illustrator at Nossi College of Art and at AH Illustrations, I'm guessing that Grocery Shopper and cat sitter were the closest she had to steady jobs. So her life was a mess in addition to (or underlying) whatever motivated her to commit suicide by taking three 9YO children and three 60-something educators with her.

IOW, she had a good supportive Prog upbringing.

Couple of updates:

First, this post from Hot air embeds police bodycam footage from the officers who stopped the shooter, permanently, https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/03/28/breaking-body-cam-footage-of-nashville-shooter-take-down-released-n539987 . As the post writer points out, unlike in the Parkland and Uvalde school shootings, the officers acted swiftly and decisively, possibly saving lives.

Second and unrelated, there are comments from the PD that the shooter had considered another (unnamed) target, but chose Covenant school because unlike the unnamed location, Covenant did not have security. Whether conscious choice or clue-free non action, Covenant's choice may have had fatal consequences.

Covenant Presbyterian Nashville's website is down (I checked yesterday and this AM). They are a member of the Presbyterian Church in America, which has some congregations that are fairly conservative theologically, and some that are quite liberal theologically. Where this Covenant Pres is in that spectrum I have not learned.

Police chief tells NBC News a sense of ‘resentment’ may have fueled Nashville shooter’s attack at former school

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nashville-christian-school-shooter-appears-former-student-police-chief-rcna76876

A sense of “resentment” might have played a role in a 28-year-old’s deadly attack on the private Christian school they once attended, Nashville police said Monday.

The shooter, Nashville resident Audrey Hale, had no previous criminal record before opening fire at The Covenant School, killing three children and three adults, authorities said.

“There’s some belief that there was some resentment for having to go to that school,” Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake told Lester Holt of NBC News.
...
Former school headmaster Bill Campbell said that he remembered Hale as a third-grader in 2005 and fourth-grader in 2006, citing yearbooks he keeps.
...
Hale was not listed as a student in the annuals in the fifth or sixth grade, so Campbell said he believes Hale transferred after the fourth grade.

So shooter-girl was 10 or 11 when she left the school. 17 or 18 years is a long time to harbor anger and resentment ... evidently it festered into hatred.

I agree 100% Pete ...

Would be so much more honest & far less confusing to say  "a female who thinks she is a male" or the reverse."

After listening to leftist media and forums like du its easy to see how that could happen..
A steady diet of hate and anger could drive someone who is already mentally unstable to do something like that.

One report, somewhat new, stated that Hale had written a friend on Instagram saying, "Something bad is going to happen....I just want to die."

Lots of stuff out there. If Hale was taking testosterone, for example, there is clinical evidence that taking it can result in violent tendencies (ya think?). I think the critter was mentally ill.

Watched the takedown video. She was shooting at cops out of a 2nd floor large glassed-in area. Cops approached her from behind and put her down. Fourteen minutes is all it took.

I wonder if the morons in Uvalde are paying attention....
