The heavily armed shooter who blasted her way through a Tennessee Christian school on Monday, killing six, was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville native who formerly attended the school, police said.

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