Four months ago on March 27, Audrey Hale shot her way into the Covenant School in Nashville and gunned down nine-year-olds Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs, daughter of Chad Scruggs, senior pastor at the Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Hale, a woman who thought she was a man, also shot dead Katherine Koonce, 59, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and African American Mike Hill, 61, the school’s custodian. Hale left behind a manifesto explaining her actions but trans activists oppose release of the documents, now in the hands of the FBI. At this writing, the manifesto remains unreleased but autopsy records enable the murder victims to testify. Consider first responder Mike Hill.
According to medical examiner Kevin B. Jenkins, Hale shot Hill in the right lateral chest, causing wounds to the lungs and mainstem bronchi, thoracic spine, aorta, and left rib. Hale’s shot perforated Hill’s vertebral body and lung, causing marked disruption of the parenchyma.
Hale also shot Hill in the upper left arm, with a trajectory “slightly back to front.” A “deformed copper jacketed bullet with green colored tip,” was recovered, indicating Hale’s preference for the AR-15 style rifle, labeled “CRUNT///,” in bold white letters, and firing .223/.556mm ammunition. Hale also deployed a 9mm Kel-tec SUB carbine, and a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun.
The rifle reports alerted Covenant headmaster Katherine Koonce, who confronted the shooter in the hall. Hale shot her in the head and according to medical examiner Emily Dennison, the bullet entered through the left side of the scalp and perforated the left temporal lobe of the brain. Another shot to the head perforated the left orbit before passing through the left eye and the base of the skull.

Hale’s shot also perforated the roof of Koonce’s mouth, oropharynx and tongue before exiting the body through the mandible. Koonce also took a shot in the neck and the right side of her torso, causing rib fractures, pulmonary lacerations and soft tissue hemorrhage. The shots damaged Koonce’s right lung, diaphragm, liver, and other organs. “Due to the amount of destruction,” the medical examiner wrote, “the pathways cannot be fully determined.”
The Covenant School headmaster also suffered “traumatic loss of teeth,” and loose teeth were also found near the body. That may have been due to the “blunt force trauma” Hale inflicted on the victim.
Hale shot teacher Cynthia Peak (née Broyles) on the right side of the face, four inches from the top of the head and two inches anterior to the right lateral midline. According to Dr. Dennison, who performed the autopsy, the shot caused hemorrhage in the left and right temporal scalp and extensive radiating and comminuted fractures of the calvarial and basilar skull and fractures of the anterior mandible.
On the left lateral neck, seven inches from the top of the head, is a “gaping gunshot exit wound.” Bullet fragments were recovered from the head, and the trajectory was right to left, downward, and front to back.
Hale’s gunshot to Peak’s left lateral chest perforated the upper lobes of both lungs and aorta. All told, the teacher suffered multiple gunshot wounds causing injuries to the brain, brainstem, cerebellum, bones of the skull, soft tissues of left neck. The manner of death was judged to be “homicide.”
Shooter Audrey Hale was a former student at the Covenant School, which she had carefully surveilled for months. With Peak, Koonce and Hill shot dead, the shooter targeted children such as Halley Scruggs.
According to forensic pathologist Kevin B. Jenkins, the nine-year-old girl sustained an “indeterminate range gunshot wound of the head,” that caused injuries to the scalp, left temporal bone, and left temporal lobe of the brain. An “indeterminate range gunshot wound of the pelvis,” entering at the left lower abdomen, caused injuries to Scruggs’ left femoral artery, vein and soft tissue.
Hale also shot Scruggs in the “lower left extremity,” on the “left proximal thigh.” The shot caused injuries to multiple ribs, lungs, spleen, kidneys, thoracic vertebra, thoracic spinal cord, diaphragm and liver. The trajectory of the shot was “left to right, downward, back to front,” with “the entrance wound on the left upper lateral back,” and a green-tipped .223 round was recovered from the child.
Pathologist Jenkins, also found “a 1-1/4 inch gaping exit wound on the left back located 12 inches from the top of the head.” There was also a “3/4 inch gaping exit wound on the right lateral chest,” from a shot in the back. The exit wounds are “are consistent with exit of the bone fragments.”
According to forensic pathologist Dennison, nine-year old William Joseph Kinney suffered a tangential graze wound “through the scalp, skull, and bilateral cerebral hemispheres,” causing “subgaleal hemorrhage, skull fractures, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and lacerations of the brain.”
Hale also shot the male child in the torso and right arm, causing perforation of the ribs and thoracic vertebrae, right lung and soft tissue of the right arm. The victim also sustained “spinal cord laceration with associated epidural and subdural hemorrhage, and thoracic vertebral fractures.” The direction of the shot was “left to right, back to front, and downward.”
William Kinney also sustained a perforating gunshot of the abdomen and a graze gunshot of the left wrist. Hale also shot the boy in the torso, perforating the left shoulder, two ribs, left lung and diaphragm. The entrance wound showed stippling, evidence that Hale shot the male child at close range. Kinney’s right arm also showed stippling and the pathologist discovered “minor blunt force trauma of the body.”
Dr. Dennison also performed the autopsy on Covenant School student Evelyn Dieckhaus, who suffered a perforating gunshot wound of the torso. The shot damaged both lungs, the aorta, right brachial plexus, right axilla, right humerus and soft tissue of the right arm.
Hale also shot the girl in the “posterior torso,” perforating the left lung, seven thoracic vertebrae and the spinal cord. The direction of the shot was “back to front,” and shooter Audrey Hale wasn’t done.
The nine-year-old child also suffered perforating gunshot wounds in the left arm and right hip, causing tissue hemorrhage and crest fracture wounds to the right buttock. Hale also shot the child in the left leg, left thigh and left buttock, causing soft tissue damage and fractures.
Another shot grazed the child’s abdomen and a shot in the pelvis caused wounds to the vasculature, bladder, and a fracture of a lumbar vertebrae. The direction of the shot was “from back to front.”
Each shot would have been enough to maim and kill the children but Audrey Hale kept on firing, unleashing 152 rounds in all. Homicide investigators call this “overkill” and it should not be surprising from Audrey Hale, who thought she was a man.
As Bruce Bawer explains, the trans movement is a “revolution against reality itself,” and with the loss of reality comes the loss of humanity. Empathy and reason go missing, replaced by hatred and violence. Those who adhere to biological reality are smeared as “transphobes” presumed to be guilty of “genocide.” That allegedly justifies any action against them.
The Trans Resistance Network proclaimed that Audrey Hale “had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out by taking the life of others.” Katherine Koonce tried to stop it.
“I guarantee when it was time to spring into action, she did because she wanted to protect those kids and her teachers,” said friend and former co-worker Jim Lee. “That was her job and she knew it. I’m sure she did not hesitate for a second.”
Cynthia Peak “was a bright star and we all loved her dearly,” said friend Peggy Murphy. “She probably considered those children in that school her family,” added Louisiana state representative Chuck Owen, a longtime friend.
Nikki Roberts, who knew Mike Hill from the Covenant School, called Hill “a hero.” According to pastor Jim Bachmann Hill was “big and he was strong, and he was tough, but he was also soft and tender.” Hill leaves behind seven children and 14 grandchildren.
When a white person guns down a black person, in any circumstances, the default explanation is racism, hate crime and so forth. None of that with Audrey Hale, who pretty much got a pass from the media and the White House.
Joe Biden failed to identify or condemn the shooter, failed to name a single murder victim, and did not attend any of the funerals. Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.” As usual, she’s wrong. People who acknowledge reality are under attack, and the trans forces grow more militant.
“Transifa,” a combination of transgender and Antifa, denotes a “far-left trans movement spreading across U.S” and “intimidating and physically assaulting those who disagree with them.” Trans swimmer Lia Thomas was recently photographed wearing a black T-shirt reading “Antifa Super Soldier.” Call it violence signaling.
“Trans violent militancy is the current focus of #Antifa,” contends journalist Andy Ngo. “They believe that critics of trans ideology should be silenced, maimed or murdered. Some call for sexual violence against females in particular, as revenge.”
In the run-up to the April 1 “Trans Day of Vengeance,” Audrey Hale murdered Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, Hallie Scruggs, Katherine Koonce Cynthia Peak, and Mike Hill. Say their names. Joe Biden won’t. The struggle against trans violence is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
Let them keep trying violence. I happen to live “in a small town”. Anyone got some body bags.
Who needs body bags when you’ve got lime and heavy machinery?
Trannies are deadly. Proportionately, they’re the most prolific murderers in America.
Just another reason to be armed and trained, with plenty of ammunition on hand. These trans freaks have been brain washed by their groomers to hate anyone questioning or denying their escape from reality. More soldiers to join antifa and blm as marxist storm troopers, and everyone knows to protect themselves from these animals.
Yes, deviants to devious things, until encounter a normal.
“With plenty of ammunition on hand…” I applaud the remark, brother. I post survival/homesteading videos on a video share platform and I consistently make similar remarks in videos wherein I talk about defensive firearms needs. Too many times I read things like “Well, if I need more than one bullet, I’m not doing my job”. Lotsa ways to die-running out of ammo ought not be one of them if it can be helped.
They’re here, they’re queer and they’re coming for your children.
And the public cannot see Hale’s “Manifesto why? Seems like by now the authorities have had plenty of time to investigate the killings and that they have all the relevant information they need. After all, the obvious murderer was killed the day of the massacre.
Not releasing the “manifesto” is Biden’s and the DOJ’s way of saying they stand with the mental cases who live in an alternate reality. It’s a subtle way of saying they hate the rest of us.
The obvious reason why the authorities refuse to publish Ms. Hale’s manifesto is because it would reveal the insanity of the whole ‘trans’ scheme.
Dog kennels probably have more security these days than most American schools do.
This is why it is so surprising to me that the church, the victims’ families and the shooters family is fighting the release of the manifesto. I contend they are putting the trans movement above the victims and their professed faith.
The family isn’t fighting release of the manifesto — at one point they claimed legal ownership of the document and said they wished to make a private gift of it, specifically to the victims’ families. Of course, they didn’t have actual possession of it at the time and haven’t since.
If Audrey Hale had been a “cisgender” white male, a whole news cycle would be devoted to this terrorist and how his whiteness and in particular how his maleness (“Toxic masculinity”) was at the root of his murderous spree.
The reaction of the Biden Administration is unsurprising. After all, his mental wet nurse, the Great Narcissist Barack Hussein Osama called the Fort Hood Massacre “workplace violence’. Michelle Obama made girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram a cause celebre, but was mute as a tomb when the Boko Haram locked BOYS inside their school and set fire to it. When Islamic terrorists murdered Jews at a kosher supermarket in Paris, the Great Narcissist described it as “a random attack” targeting “some folks who wanted to eat at a deli’. And when Omar Mateen (who attended the largest mosque in central Florida, whose iman stated in a television interview “homosexuals must be killed”), killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, The Osama Administration started a whispering campaign that he was a twisted closet case rather than a jihadi mass murderer.
The Left’s response to violence is determined by the place they ascribe for its victims (and perpetrators) on their totem of oppression.
Sounds right. The totem pole has been turned on its head .like so many of the values and standards most of us consider normal.
It has been reported here locally in Tennessee that Hale’s parents quickly fought for legal ownership of the manifesto and won, then awarded it to the victim’s families as a means of closure with the legal provision that it never be released publicly. If all that’s true, it really tells us all we need to know about what the document contains.
I have a meme that shows all the mass trans shooters of late. The intentional hiding of the information contained in the manifesto, along with the sexual disphoria that brought it into being, will continue to manifest itself nationally since the information will never see the disinfecting light of day…and if the report is true, Hale’s parents and victims will have a hand in the next deaths.
Do you have a link to the recent tranny mass shootings? I know that since Alzheimer Joe was installed as the fake President there have been a lot.
And we’re all supposed to pretend that trannies don’t have severe mental health issues.
Exacerbated by the drugs and surgeries they are treated with.
I didn’t know that the female trannies often take testosterone. Seems dangerous to me.
Indeed it is. They can’t handle the juice.
I’m sorry Jeff. I wish I did. This is just a meme that I picked up from a friend on Twitter highlighting 6 recent mass shootings by the sexual dysphoric.
Six is the figure I read, too, along with that tranny murderer released from prison who promptly murdered another woman.
This is as disgusting and horrifying as I thought it might be! It’s bad enough for ADULTS to be slaughtered like this, but the hate and anger directed at the little ones is just UN_HUMAN !! This is NOT the actions of a SANE person. Now the libers have tried to make the MURDERER out to be a “victim” – no SHE wasn’t! Well, maybe she was but she was a victim of LIBERALISM!!
Ms. Koonce did what she thought was right – too bad that she was not ARMED with an AR or PISTOL or SHOTGUN of her own – maybe a few more people would be living today!!
I grew up in a time when nearly every pickup truck and some cars had GUN RACKS in the back window!! Many of us took our guns to school so we could go hunting right afterwards! Where were all the school shootings back then – in the late 60’s and early 70’s???
Our society is SICK – pure and simple! It USED to be the job of GOVERNMENT to HELP PREVENT harm to people but now it seems like it’s their MAIN PURPOSE!!
I packed my stuff and moved to the forest last month.
Really? You’re just kidding, right? It sounds nice, though. I hate crapping in the forest like a bear but I loved the cabin my ex girlfriend has. We had to use a porta potty but the cabin itself was very comfortable and surrounded by redwoods.
This killer was under the control of Satan’s demons, as are most of these deranged people who claim to be members of another sex. It is my belief that Satan and his demons control or influence huge numbers of people in our country.
If story is true that the parents/families of victims stopped release of manifesto, and I hesitate to believe it, what was in there they were ashamed of? Or afraid of?
That seems like a cover up rumor. But who knows?
In the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah the people of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to commit violence to the two angels. Welcome to the New Sodom and Gomorrah. Like the Old Sodom and Gomorrah we can thank all the Christians who remain silent and allow evil to flourish for both.
Newsflash! There were no Christian in the Old Testament, which is where Sodom and Gomorrah existed. There were no Christian because Jesus doesn’t appear in Scripture until the New Testament, 700 years later.
Has anybody mentioned that this is also an attack on Christianity. Trying to scare off the Christians.
Yes, it was a Christian school. No doubt her manifesto expressed hatred for Christianity, children and teachers.
I thought Christians were supposed to tell the truth and not hide secrets from the light of truth.
She went to that school as a child. No doubt she harbors some animosity toward the school, its teachers, and its children — but why? That’s what we are not supposed to find out. It would be a service to humanity if that manifesto were leaked on a popular website for everyone to read.
‘They’ have decided that we cannot see this ‘manifesto’ because it might make us have ‘wrong thoughts’. Mao lives.
Testosterone drove her mad.
That, and her fugly face. If I woke up next to that, I’d have a heart attack or shit myself, and I’ve woken up next to some less than attractive women.
I drink. That’s how I end up with the homely ones sometimes and the crazy ones who take showers with their clothes on or shampoo with Ty-D-Bowl or leave brooms(?) in my apartment. Most of them are attractive, though.
Whoever down voted me is a dysfunctional dork who never gets laid.
Maybe thx or Mickorn. You can look Mickorn up on instagram. I can give a link but it would put me in moderation.
Yeah, Dickhorn hates me. That’s OK. I hate him right back. He’s such an obnoxious asshole.
And I looked at his Instagram account after you told me about it NO WAY does that ugly mutant ever get laid.
Real Christians do not have sex outside of marriage. So now you know how many Christians are actually in the country. Those women you have been with are desperate for love, but the only thing you can give them is sex.
That’s good enough for me. I’ve been married and it sucked.
I was with a girl recently who went for over five hours and didn’t ask for a thing from me, not even lunch. Now that was a real lady.
That’s absolving her of any responsibility for her depraved mind.
It might have. Too much is dangerous for anyone.
Thanks Lightbringer! I’ve thought a lot about the effects of testosterone and such.
My husbands brother, a trans, has driven 500 miles to stalk our house because we have refused his calls for the past 15 years. He is mental, texting pics of body parts. Hubs cant change his phone # due to years of business contacts. He blocks the trans” phone #’s but seems to use other peoples phone to call. Brothers and sisters have received the same treatment from the trans. The trans expects everyone to love and accept him/her but many don’t. We know he has mental issues.
No, she definitely had mental issues before she took it, which is why she was given testosterone.
I just could not help but notice that the only person who was gunned down by the transifa who had their skin color noted was the African American, Mike Hill. Why? Because he was the janitor? Diversity? IMHO, this was entirely unnecessary.
I noticed the same thing. It’s a reflexive reaction by conservatives because they want to be tolerant. I think it’s weird.
It’s the left that pretends to be tolerant. We conservatives just wanna show what a bunch of hypocrites the left is.
I think most conservatives genuinely want to be tolerant but it’s definitely hard to tolerate most leftists.
The solution is simple…
“Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.””
What an utterly obscene reaction.
That made me so angry, but she is a lesbian, so I’m not surprised she said that. She has a depraved mind.
Ms. Jean-Pierre should be ashamed of herself!
Ms. Jean-Pierre lacks the ability to be ashamed, given she, as Brown Wolf states, has a depraved mind, which God assigns to those who reject Jesus Christ, His Son.
Trannies need the woodchipper treatment. Instant cure 👍
I don’t know what these fools expect, pump an already deranged person full of hormones and it will not go well. The idea that they seem to want to pair with antifa tells you that they are being used as a tool of the communist/left/democrat party.
Thank God this depraved, useless dreg of society was shot dead. Otherwise, she would be released back into society in a few years for “good behavior” in prison.
She was? I’m fine with that, but where does the article say that?
If I remember, in some countries with low mass shooting and murder rates, soldiers take their military guns home with them. And the IRS is going to hire thousands of agents who will be armed and willing to shoot tax violators or resisters, we presume. A criminal could probably steal weapons from the police, military, and IRS agents to commit crimes. In prohibition crime increased because alcohol could easily be made in the bathtub or barn or basement and it could be smuggled into the country. One political dynasty started its fortune by doing the latter. Now our great non-communicator has thrown the borders wide open, letting in no doubt thousands of criminals, perverts, spies, terrorists and unpleasant people. And it should be easy enough to bring in guns over that border. Why not, it is wide open thanks to well a lot of woke politicians who think criminals deserve a second, third or hundredth chance. If the teachers had guns, perhaps they could have bagged this transtifa. Or if the students occasionally had one in their pocket, perhaps they could too. Although it seems that some already are armed, but not in this case.
What irks me is what this church did in helping the parents cover up the blatantly obvious reason this person murdered innocent defenseless children and adults. The adults were employed by the church, and they no doubt were also members of the church. Frankly, I find that despicable, every bit as despicable as what Audrey Hale did to her victims.
Was it a he that wanted to be a she or the other way around? Time to go Elijah on these freak-of-nature monsters of the beast…… Example is 1 Kings 18:40; “And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.”
Is it just me or is it weird that the autopsy drawing has nipples and butt cheeks but no hair or vagina?
Jeff, when everything you observe has a sexual reference, including an autopsy sketch with hints of incredible violence, you should understand that you have a problem. There are many places to get help and I would encourage you to do so. It was Ted Bundy who stated that his serial killings began with the viewing of pornography.
She was a woman pretending to be a man.
A common mistake of authorities is that they procrastinate until the problems are well embedded into communities. Then, the level of criminality is beyond the intellect and capability for them to control.
Citizens are not a means to temper violence with their life because of politicians’ incompetence or indifference. So, get out of the way, and don’t you dare talk about weapons confiscation.
Strange that its mentioned Mike Hill is an African American whereas the others are not mentioned as European American so I guess they are just American while Mr Mike Hill is different… How strange.
It’s not so strange. I think the idea is to expose the left’s hypocrisy.
It’s not strange, it’s simple logic. All differentiating factors were mentioned – occupation, sex, etc. Color of all was mentioned implicitly by mentioning the color of only one, which was merely another differentiating factor.
