During searches in the house where she lived, the investigators found two assault rifles: another, Elizabeth Audrey Hale, she took with her to the Covennat School in Nashville, and used it to carry out a massacre, the umpteenth in an American school.
Six dead, three children and three adults, including the principal of the institute and the caretaker. Four other rifles have passed through her hands, acquired legally over the past few years. The past of the 28-year-old killer is investigated to understand what might have triggered her desire for revenge against what had been the school she attended as a child. Her parents said she was on medication for some emotional disorders, they didn’t know she owned guns.
They were unaware of his long-premeditated intentions: Hale knew his way around the building perfectly, he drew several detailed plans of the property on which the school stands. He planned every movement. The girl’s mother, Norma Hale, is an activist against the sale of weapons and has repeatedly issued petitions to keep them away from schools.
The massacre proved to be yet another opportunity to return to debate on the subject: Joe Biden who again asked for a ban on the sale of assault rifles similar to the one used by Hale.
