Audrey Hale, 28, said ‘something bad is about to happen’ as police accused of lack of urgency after being alerted by suspect’s friend
, Hale’s former middle school basketball teammate Averianna Patton, said police showed a lack of urgency after she alerted them.
“I have gone the full extent of my executive authority on my own,” the president told reporters at the White House, adding that he had spoken with community members in Nashville. “I think it’s about time. Meanwhile, detectives continued to piece together a motive for the murders by Hale, a former student at the school, as a heartbroken community began to grieve the dead with prayer vigils and a growing memorial of flowers and soft toys.
“There was possibly some resentment for having to go to that school,” he told CBS News. “We have a booklet that shows exactly what she had planned to do. We have maps that showed the entry point into the school, the weapons that was going to be used, the clothing that she was going to wear, and she had drawn it up almost like a cartoon character.The mayor of Nashville, John Cooper, praised the speed of the police response to the shooting, which he said “was dealt with in only 14 minutes”.
“We’ve been banning books up here, not guns. We make it harder to vote than to buy an AK. We allow permit-less carry inand our governor had the gall to sign that bill at a Beretta manufacturing plant. That’s the climate, that’s the uphill battle I’m fighting.”
