Overview
- The FBI posted more than 200 pages of Audrey Hale’s notes and journals dating to 2021 after a judge ordered additional disclosures.
- A page labeled “Account Savings Record” lists FAFSA/Pell grant checks alongside entries about firearms Hale intended to buy, echoing her parents’ 2023 statements to police.
- The documents show Hale listed The Covenant School as a target because it was a Christian, predominantly white school, while rejecting a predominantly black school she had considered.
- Pages catalog gun types, ammunition, local shops and ranges, and receipts indicating she took gun classes at Royal Range in Nashville months before the attack.
- Metro Nashville police previously said notoriety was Hale’s primary motive, while portions of the manifesto and other records remain disputed or withheld despite the latest release.
