'I hope I have a high death count': Pages from Nashville Christian school shooter's manifesto leaked
November 06, 2023
Several pages from the Nashville Christian school shooter's manifesto were exclusively obtained and shared by "Louder with Crowder" on Monday.
A 28-year-old female shot and killed three children and three adults at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 27. The shooter, who identified as a transgender man, left behind a manifesto detailing her plans for the attack at the Christian school.
The manifesto was found at the shooter's home and included a map of the school. Police previously reported that the shooter had spent months planning the massacre.
The writings have been withheld from the public despite the Metro Nashville Police Department reporting in April that the documents were being reviewed for public release. Since then, some parents with children attending the Covenant School and the associated Covenant Presbyterian Church have pushed to block the manifesto's release.
On Monday, "Louder with Crowder's" Mug Club Undercover released three pages from the shooter's writings.
One page, dated the same day as the shooting, described the killer's thoughts leading up to "death day."
"Today is the day," the shooter wrote. "The day has finally come!"
"I'm a little nervous, but excited too. Been excited for the past 2 weeks," she continued. "There were several times I could have been caught especially back in the summer of 2021."
"Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm ready. … I hope my victims aren't," she added.
"God let my wrath take over my anxiety," the shooter said. "It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7. It's gonna go quick. I hope I have a high death count."
She concluded the journal entry, "Ready to die."
Another page from the shooter's manifesto revealed her schedule for the day of the shooting. It detailed the time she would wake up and how she would prepare for the attack.
The shooter planned to arrive at the Christian school at noon and park in her "designated parking space." She circled "12:33" and wrote, "Open fire towards SW entrance."
"Let massacre begin," she added. “Time2die.”
The third page, dated February 3, 2023, included hate-fueled ramblings.
"Kill those kids!!!" she wrote. "Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy kwakis [sic] + sports backpacks. W/ thier daddies [sic] mustangs + convertables [sic].”
"F**k you little s**ts. I wish to shoot you weakass dicks w/ your mop yellow hair," she continued. "Wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privlages [sic] f**k you faggots."
