Authorities revealed the face of the shooter who killed three children and three adults. Police officers reported that the name of the person responsible is Audrey Hale, who identifies transgender.

Audrey had begun using the name «Aiden» and their whereabouts were discovered thanks to LinkedIn. Authorities believe that Audrey was a former student at the Nashville school though they had deleted all of their social media.

The fact that the attacker was a woman surprised experts. Women make up only 5% to 8% of all assailants in mass shootings, said Adam Lankford, a University of Alabama criminal justice professor who has studied the psychology and behavior of mass shooters in depth.

Audrey Hale arrived at the school stocked with ammunition, an assault rifle and a pistol. It is presumed that they entered through a side door of the building at 10:13 a.m. and was later killed by police at 10:27 a.m.

Three of the victims were only 9 years old

The minor victims were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all nine years old. The adult victims were Cynthia Peak, 61; Katherine Konce, 60; and Mike Hill, 61, according to the AP.

At least two weapons used by the shooter are believed to have been obtained legally in the Nashville area. Officers began clearing the first floor of the school when they heard gunshots coming from the second level, police spokesman Don Aaron said during a news conference.

Authorities and several social media users found multiple images in Audrey Hale’s online portfolio that were described as «strange». There were images of Jack Nicholson.

There was an illustration of the main character played by Jack Nicholson in The Shining and people quickly linked the actor to the school shooter because in one of her photos she imitated Nicholson’s expression from the movie. Film experts say this expression represents «insanity and loss of reason.»
