The murder at an elementary school in Nashville (US state of Tennessee) has been planned for months. According to the police, this is evident from writings and diary entries. The motive was still not clear a week after the crime.
It is known that the 28-year-old gunman contemplated other similar acts. As reported, six people died in the shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville. Among them were three children and three school staff. The heavily armed woman fired a total of 152 shots and was then shot dead by the police.
A week after the crime, it became known that the massacre had been planned for months. This is evident from writings and diary entries. The 28-year-old was previously in school herself and would have chosen her victims at random. Previous investigations also revealed that she was being treated for an “emotional disorder”. However, she was not known to the police, it was emphasized.
Shortly after the crime, she gave contradictory information about her gender, which caused confusion among the public. It is now clear that the gunman from Nashville identifies as transgender, so as a person who does not (only) identify with her own biological sex. Police say the motive for the murder is still unclear.
The former graduate of the school is said to have sent a message via Instagram to a former basketball player a few minutes before the crime. In this she announced that something bad would happen “after I died”. The recipient then contacted both the police and the suicide prevention agency, but it was already too late.
The massacre caused great consternation in the United States and once again fueled the debate over possible gun law reform. Rampages and shootings are a sad part of everyday life in the country. This year alone, the killing marks the 129th mass shooting.
