Attorney General Merrick Garland would not pledge Tuesday to launch a hate crime probe into the Monday mass shooting at a Nashville, Tennessee, Christian school.
Transgender shooter Audrey Hale, 28, killed three children and three adults at Covenant School before being killed by police, and the Nashville Metro Police Department reported discovering “writings” at Hale’s home that suggest a “calculated and planned” attack. Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said at a Tuesday Senate Appropriations Committee hearing that Hale “could have had collaborators,” asking Garland whether he planned on opening a hate crime investigation in the case for the targeting of Christians.
