The alleged manifesto of the transgender-identifying shooter who callously murdered six people at Nashville Covenant School, a private Christian institution, was leaked by MugClub Undercover, an investigative team assembled by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.
MugClub Undercover obtained three pages of the Nashville shooter’s purported manifesto, which, if accurate, contains alarming statements regarding the private school’s students’ “white privilege” and referenced the children as “little crackers.”
The 28-year-old transgender-identifying shooter, whom TPUSA has chosen not to name, attended Nashville Covenant School as an adolescent and has Christian parents who reportedly did not agree with their daughter’s decision to identify as a male. She murdered several individuals at the school on March 27, 2023, which she called “DEATH DAY,” in her alleged manifesto, before officers arrived on the scene and fatally shot her.
Following the devastating massacre, Nashville Police Chief John Drake told reporters that the trans-identified shooter was under a physician’s care for an “emotional disorder,” and unconfirmed claims from those familiar with her said that she had a “high-functioning” form of autism, but Drake did not comment on this claim.
In a notebook entry, dated February 3, the 28-year-old allegedly wrote, “Kill those kids!!! Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertables [sic].” The manifesto contains disturbing statements, including “Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready … I hope my victims aren’t,” and “I hope I have a high death count.”
Following her horrific actions, which took the lives of six individuals, including three children, authorities assured media outlets that the shooter’s manifesto, which contained the motive behind the attack and was quickly discovered by law enforcement officers, would be shared with the public. According to the Daily Mail, law enforcement officers discovered the manifesto “along with hand-drawn maps, a suicide note, 20 journals, laptops, phones and several writings,” from the shooter’s home and the vehicle.
Several months later, law enforcement still had not released the documents or motive behind the shooting. The Daily Wire reported, “The Metropolitan Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations denied Freedom of Information Act requests from The Daily Wire, the Tennessee Star, and other outlets, citing that it was an ongoing investigation – even though the shooter was dead.” Local law enforcement later claimed that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) requested officials keep the manifesto under wraps.
Several outlets filed a lawsuit in an attempt to receive the information being concealed by officials; however, this led to law enforcement claiming that they could not reveal any details from the manifesto while litigation was ongoing.
Crowder and the Daily Wire have both claimed to have independently verified the documents that have been attributed to the Nashville shooter; however, the Nashville Metro Police Department has not yet released a statement confirming or denying the validity of these allegations at this time.
