Not twenty miles from my childhood home, a 28-year-old female shot up a private Christian school on Monday and killed six people, including three 9-year-old children.

The woman, who was fatally shot by police, was identified as one Audrey Hale. Hale was a self-styled artist whose digital graphics included a sophomoric portrait of Jack Nicholson sketched in lines from the script of The Shining and a photo on which is scrawled in crayon “To be a kid (forever and ever).” She claimed male pronouns and was reportedly under a doctor’s supervision for an emotional disorder. Investigators have since found a manifesto in Hale’s residence, where she lived with her parents, as well as maps indicating further planned killings, possibly of family members.

As has become routine after mass shootings, police have withheld the murderer’s manifesto, which is also the preference, in this instance, of many LGBTQ groups. But it doesn’t matter, since Hale’s words could not have been more clear than her actions.
