Nashville School Shooting: Autopsy Report Reveals Concerning New Details on Gunman

New details have emerged on the Nashville school shooting after the autopsy report on the late school shooter, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, have been revealed.

The report showed that the 28-year-old trans artist covered their clothes in handwritten messages before the fatal attack that killed three children and three adults, as well as herself.

According to Fox News, the report identified the late shooter as a trans male but listed them as biologically female. The autopsy report also stated that they were carrying a knife that was inscribed as "Aiden," which was their chosen name. Hale was killed by officers who responded to the attack that happened at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.

Unsurprisingly though, the shooter's cause of death was the gunshot wounds they sustained after being shot by police. Hale also suffered bruises and abrasions and "minor" blunt force trauma.

As for the handwritten notes, drawings, and numbers that the shooter placed all over his clothing, it is noted that they wore a plastic anklet inscribed with "508407." It is still unclear what was written on their clothes, though their manifesto and other writings have sparked debates on whether to release them.

Traumatized Parents Battle Local News and Politicians Over Audrey Elizabeth Hale Manifesto

Currently, there are no standards on deciding whether or not writings from mass shooters be made public. On one side, parents of the victims and traumatized survivors might not want to see such writings be made public and state that this is a matter of public interest. On the other hand, local news outlets, nonprofits, and a Republican lawmaker think that this is a matter of public interest so the writings must be released.

The Associated Press pointed out that mass shooters such as Hale often release their writings online. After their attacks, there is often a race to suppress its spread. Experts often point out that such manifestos might inspire others to do the same. An example is the Texas Walmart Shooter which targeted Latinos in El Paso. He published his racist manifesto on an online messaging board five months after the New Zealand mass shooter posted on the same site about his Islamophobic manifesto.

Ultimately though, the decision to release such documents would be decided by a local police chief or sheriff, who in turn is governed by state-specific public records laws. As for the Nashville School Shooting, police stated that they will release Hale's writings but only after the investigation concludes.

Tennessee School Shooting Victims' Families Form Non-Profits To Address Gun and School Safety

Families from The Covenant School have now banded together and created two nonprofits in the wake of the Nashville School Shooting. These new non-profits will promote school safety and mental health resources and also push for legislative policy changes that would place certain limits on firearms. Experts believe this would be difficult in a deep-red state like Tennessee, yet they are still pushing for gun reforms.

"We can create brighter tomorrows for our state so no other community has to endure the suffering," said Nashville mom Sarah Shoop Neumann, whose son, Noah, survived the attack. The groups they formed are the latest in the ongoing tension in Tennessee as parents and ordinary citizens are pushing for gun safety regulations to be passed in the red state.
