2023 Nashville school shooting

Rare card · No. 32887

On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian Church in America parochial elementary school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale), a 28-year-old transgender man and former student of the school, killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before officer Rex Engelbert and detective Michael Collazo, members of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD), shot and killed him. Hale was a former student of the school who had been planning the attack for several years. In April 2025, the MNPD closed its investigation into the shooting, concluding that Hale had been motivated by numerous factors, including a desire for notoriety and media attention. Hale had chosen The Covenant School as he wanted to die somewhere that made him happy, and he considered the years he attended the school to be the happiest of his life.
