This is evil.

Audrey Hale targeted this Christian school and murdered three 9-year-olds and three adults.

I can't comprehend how someone can do something so heinous.

Now all the speculation and blame games begin.

Hale wrote a manifesto

Whatever Hale's motives or her mental status, this was a premeditated crime, according to Nashville Police Chief John Drake. Hale didn't suddenly flip out. She meticulously planned this. She had maps with marked points of entry and surveillance.

Instead of blaming Hale for her actions, some will blame the murders on guns, like Nashville's Democrat mayor, John Cooper. He and others think inanimate objects are responsible for the lives taken today.

Some will no doubt raise the possibility that this was a hate crime, because Hale targeted Christians to be her victims.

Because of Hale's transgenderism, some will probably point to that as a factor in the attack.

Pivoting to exploit the murders Hale committed to advance any political agenda, within hours or minutes of the event, is a sick exercise.

Unless it's determined that Hale was insane and completely unhinged from reality, I blame Hale for choosing to break into her old school and gun down innocent children and adults.

The families and friends of these precious individuals, whose lives where stolen by Hale, are in my prayers.

All those traumatized by Hale's actions are in my prayers.

The law enforcement officers and first responders who saved lives today, as well as their families, are in my prayers. Don't like prayers? Not an appropriate reaction? Turning to God is my first response in the face of such tragedy and evil. Deal with it.
