Minutes later, at 9:57 am, that is to say 16 minutes before the police officers were first notified of the shooting, Audrey added: “Basically, that post that I made here about you, was basically a suicide noteSeeing the message, Patton immediately called the police to report the messages, but it was too late.

Patton commented on News Channel 5 Nashville that another message said: “Someday this will make more sense. I’ve left behind more than enough evidence.

The Nashville Massacre

The attacker, shot down by police officers, had prepared maps detailing surveillance and entry points to the school, and also left behind a written manifesto suggesting that planned more attacks elsewhere.

Among the victims were an eight-year-old boy and two nine-year-olds – including the daughter of the church’s pastor – and two teachers, one of whom was a longtime headmistress of The Covenant School, a small Christian school for about 200 students.

Seeking a motive, Police Chief John Drake told NBC News that “there is a certain conviction that there was some resentment for having to go to that school.” And he concluded: “Targeted students at random…anyone he came across shot him.”

Aftermath after the shooting

Norma Hale, Audrey’s mother, through a brief telephone interview with the television network ABC Newshe could barely express: “It is very, very difficult right now… “.

Stacie Wilford, a nurse, told the agency AFP that it was “very scary” to be shot so close to his home. While Chad Baker, a 44-year-old resident, declared that he was “appalled and very saddened”, adding that while he supports the right to bear arms, there should be more regulation”, as published by the Dailymail.

Let us remember that the American president, Joe Biden He has long been calling for Congress to prohibit, or at least restrict, the possession of these high-caliber weapons commonly used in these incidents and which can cause high numbers of victims. However, the Republican legislators -majority in the House of Representatives (lower)- oppose it. The ban existed since 1994 but was lifted in 2004.

Teddy bears, letters and floral tributes were gathered at a makeshift memorial outside the school. Neither the Covenant School, nor the American city of Nashville, Tennessee, will feel as safe as before the massacre.
