The suspect in the Nashville school shooting, Audrey Hale, is a 28-year-old from the city, police have said. He’s reported to have been a former student at the school.
Police have identified the suspected shooter by their name at birth; Hale reportedly was a transgender man who used he/him pronouns, though law enforcement officials initially described the suspect as a woman in the aftermath of the shooting. Police did not provide another name but on the suspect’s social media accounts they refer to themselves as Aiden.
