Nashville shooter Audrey Hale hid cache of weapons from parents, had ’emotional disorder’: cops

Nashville mass shooter Audrey Hale hid her cache of weapons from her parents because they didn’t want her to own guns due to an emotional disorder she was being treated for, police revealed Tuesday.

Hale, 28, had legally purchased seven guns from various local stores — including the three she used to gun down six victims at The Covenant School on Monday, Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake said.

According to Drake, Hale’s parents told investigators they only knew about one of the guns but they believed she had sold it sometime before the massacre that left three 9-year-olds and three adults dead.

“She was under care, doctor’s care, for an emotional disorder,” the police chief said, adding that cops “knew nothing about the treatment she was receiving.”

“Her parents felt she should not own weapons … they were under the impression that when she sold the one weapon that she did not own anymore,” Drake added.

“As it turned out, she had been hiding several weapons within the house.”
