CORRECTION: Nashville Christian School Shooter was a Woman

So it turns out that the shooter at the Nashville Covenant school, who murdered Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, Hallie Scruggs, 9, William Kinney, 9, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61, was not a woman as previously believed but a 28-year-old man with gender dysphoria whose name will not be revealed on this blog.

As you can see from my previous post, the victims were not all women as previously believed, since Mr. Hill, William Kinney, and the shooter were males. The shooter had been a former student at the Presbyterian school.

One of the victims: Hallie Scruggs with Daddy

CORRECTION: This post originally described the shooter as a dysphoric man, not a woman due to the misreporting of the press, but the latest information states that she was a woman. So please disregard the statement made below. It is extremely rare for a woman to commit a mass shooting as happened in Nashville, thus it was easy to assume the media was originally correct about her gender.

The shooter fired through a locked door to gain entry while armed with two semi automatic rifles and a handgun. He then went up to the second floor and began his shooting spree.

Two Nashville police officers entered the school and went to the sounds of gunfire, because that's what most cops do, unless they work for former Sheriff Scott Israel of Broward County infamy. The duo shot the killer at around 10:27 a.m. the police reported.

The shooter's home address is about three miles away from the Covenant School, according to public records. The FBI, ATF, and local police cordoned off that home with crime scene tape on Monday afternoon.

Investigators found a "manifesto" by the shooter and other writings that they are looking into as they search for a motive beyond his obvious mental illness of gender dysphoria.

The shooter's LinkedIn profile and personal website that appeared to be affiliated with him describes him as a graphic designer and who graduated from Nossi College of Art with a degree in illustration and graphic design.

Female mass shooters are very rare in the USA, according to FBI data, and this shooting was no exception. My first reaction to the shooting before knowing it was a man with gender dysphoria was one of surprise, but knowing it was a man classified as a "transgender woman" it no longer surprising. In fact, it's just further evidence that only two genders exist and you can't go from one to the other just by cutting off body parts and/or thinking you're the other gender.

This story is incredibly sad. The death of any child is sad, but to have a child taken from us with violence is heartbreaking. But the left wasted no time calling for more gun control legislation, as if that would have prevented this from happening. Pro tip: it would not.

Let's just pray for those souls this guy took from their loved ones, and for the mothers, fathers and siblings of the children who were killed.
