Nashville Christian shooter Audrey Hale had handwritten words, numbers and drawings covering the clothing she wore as she killed six people at her former school in March, an autopsy report states.
Hale, a 28-year-old biological woman who identified as a transgender man, also had a red pocket knife monogrammed with her chosen name of Aiden, according to the Davidson County Medical Examiner’s report, published Wednesday by Fox News.
The autopsy was conducted March 28, one day after Hale opened fire at the Covenant School, killing three nine-year-old children and three adults before being neutralized by responding law enforcement officers.
Hale’s clothing during the attack included a white shirt featuring “handwritten words, drawings and numbers,” a black shirt with a firing range logo and other printed writings and a black tactical-style vest, according to officials. Hale also wore a bra “that has handwritten words and a drawing on it,” the report stated. Additionally, Hale had multiple ammunition magazines, some of which were labeled with stickers and/or drawings.
The handwritten messages are not detailed in the report.
Hale’s ankle had an “orange plastic bracelet” with the inscription “508407,” the report also stated. The county forensic medical examiner’s office confirmed Thursday to Just the News that all deceased bodies in the office are tagged with plastic bracelets for identification.
Hale’s body, identified as female in the report, showed three perforating gunshot wounds, with one hitting the torso and left arm, another hitting the head and the other on the right thigh, the report showed. Hale’s body also showed a “graze wound” to the right shoulder and “minor blunt force trauma.”
Hale was described in the report as a “well-developed, well-nourished, 5 foot 2 inch, 119-1/2 pound” female.
The toxicology report did not discover drugs or alcohol in Hale’s system at the time of the attack.
The report comes as Nashville faces lawsuits to release Hale’s manifesto and other writings that officers recovered at the crime scene and her family’s home.
Meanwhile, families from Covenant School are pushing for gun laws, including expanded background checks, red flag laws and secure firearms storage.
