The shooter who killed three children and three adults at The Covenant School in Nashville used three of seven legally purchased firearms in America's latest massacre.
Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old former student who was under care for an emotional disorder, was in possession of an AR-15 military-style rifle, a 9 mm Kel-Tec SUB2000 pistol calibre carbine, and a 9 mm Smith and Wesson M&P Shield EZ 2.0 handgun, according to Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake.
The seven firearms were purchased between October 20, 2020, and June 6, 2022, police spokesman Don Aaron said. Three of the guns Hale owned were used to kill three 9-year-olds as well as a custodian, a substitute teacher and the head of the school. The three guns Hale used at the school are common, with the AR-15 the most common rifle in the country, according to Gutowski. The assault-style rifle holds a unique place in the heated political debate over gun control, he said -- a symbol of the Second Amendment bulwark.
