Following the leak of the transgender Nashville shooter’s alleged manifesto on Monday morning, Mayor Freddie O’Connell said that the city has launched an investigation into how the images of the writings were released.
"I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro’s Law Director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released. That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving," O’Connell said in a statement, according to WSMV.

On Monday morning, Steven Crowder released three handwritten pages of what he said were Audrey Hale’s manifesto. These highlighted an anti-white sentiment held by the shooter that killed three young students and three staff members of the Covenant School on March 27, 2023.
The pages apparently show Hale planning the day of the shooting down to the minute, including in all capital letters at the top of the page, "DEATH DAY." A source with the Louder with Crowder show told The Post Millennial that they received the photographs of Hale's notebook from a "source near law enforcement."
"I’m a little nervous, but excited too, been excited for the past two weeks," Hale wrote.
"There were several times I could have been caught, especially in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now, I’m almost an hour and 7 minutes away."
"Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready," Hale wrote, adding, "I hope my victims aren’t."
"Kill those Kids!!!" another page began, dated February 3, 2023.
"Those crackers, going to private fancy schools, with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks... w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles. f*ck you little skits," Hale wrote.
Hale added: “Wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privileges f*ck you faggots."
