‘I Just Need to Die,’ Nashville School Shooter Tells Instagram Friend Minutes Before Shooting Begins

A female shooter shot through the glass doors of a church school to gain access to the building.

After breaking the glass, the shooter crawled through the lower portion of the door.  The 28-year-old transgender person is seen pacing the hallway, heavily armed, as alarms are blaring. Six people were killed; three 9-year-old students and three faculty members.

Police storm the building, then exchanged fire with Audrey Hale. Hale was killed. A manifesto was recovered, as was a map of the school detailing camera locations and surveillance entry points.
