Nashville school shooter’s chilling final messages to friend revealed: ‘Something bad is about to happen’
The Nashville school shooting suspect’s chilling final messages have come to light, issuing a dark warning to a friend that “something bad is about to happen” just minutes before killing six in the horror attack.
Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old former student at the school, sent a series of direct messages to friend Averianna Patton via Instagram on Monday morning.
In the harrowing messages sent at 9.57am, Hale revealed plans to die by suicide, telling Ms Patton “this is my last goodbye” and that she would soon be reading about it “on the news after I die”.
“One day this will make more sense,” Hale wrote.
“I’ve left behind more than enough evidence behind. But something bad is about to happen.”
Just 16 minutes later – at 10.13am – law enforcement received the first 911 call reporting shots fired inside The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hale had allegedly entered the Christian elementary school armed with two “assault-style” weapons as well as a handgun.
Inside, Hale opened fire, killing three small children and three staff members. The former student at the school was captured on surveillance footage stalking the corridors looking for victims.
Three students Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney – all aged nine – and three staff members Katherine Koonce, 60, Cynthia Peak, 61, and Mike Hill, 61, were all killed by the shooter.
