While she had two assault rifles and a pistol on her during the assault, there were also shotguns in her home. They found some documents with plans for the school, including a layout of where the cameras were.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a video <strong>released by the police <\/strong>so you can see what happened. Please note, this may not be suitable for anyone that doesn\u2019t like firearms being fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Active shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale drove to Covenant Church\/School in her Honda Fit this morning, parked, and shot her way into the building.

One of them is me wondering where everyone else is in the video. I only see Hale for the most part, and the school looks pretty empty for a Monday morning. Of course, everyone could have been in class, but why was no one running in fear when the shots went off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not saying it didn\u2019t happen; these are just questions that popped into my mind. In the next post and video, you can see one of the mothers getting upset as Fox News tried to cover the incident. She wants to know why no one is doing anything about the <strong>latest shooting sprees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AMAZING: Live on Fox News, an angry mom at the Nashville School Shooting Press Conference, steps in front of the mic and gives an incredible speech.<br><br>Meanwhile Fox News is caught off guard and panics, trying to not show her on air.

At the moment, the motive for the shooting is unknown.

Or perhaps, there is no logical motive for why she just walked into the school and started gunning teachers down.
