Chief John Drake and the men and women of the MNPD join all of Nashville in
mourning today’s deaths of six innocent persons, three nine-year-old’s and threeadults, at the hands of an active shooter at Covenant Church/School on Burton
Hills Drive.
The deceased are identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie
Scruggs, all age nine, Mike Hill, age 61, Cynthia Peak, age 61, and Katherine
Koonce, ago 60.
The shooter, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, who attended the school years ago,
arrived on campus in her Honda Fit. She was heavily armed with three guns, two
of them assault-type weapons, and, as seen in surveillance video, shot her way
into the church/school through doors on the side of the building.
The first call to 911 about shots being fired in the building came in at 10:13 a.m.
Officers rushed to the campus, made entry and began clearing the building.
Shots were heard coming from the second level. It was on the second floor, in a
common area, that a team of officers encountered Hale shooting (she had been
firing through a window at arriving police cars). Two members of an officer team
fired on Hale and fatally wounded her. Those two officers are Officer Rex
Engelbert, a four-year MNPD veteran, and Officer Michael Collazo, a nine-year
MNPD veteran.
Writings recovered from Hale revealed that her attack was calculated and
planned.
A search warrant executed at Hale’s Brightwood Avenue home resulted in the
seizure of a sawed-off shotgun, a second shotgun, and other evidence.
The investigation by several MNPD components, with assistance from our
partners at the TBI, FBI, ATF and THP, is continuing.
