Conservative social media figure Steven Crowder reportedly leaked of a manifesto penned by the accused shooter of the Nashville school shooting, which claimed the lives of six victims earlier this year.
In a YouTube video posted on Monday, Crowder revealed that the manifesto had been leaked. He also shared snapshots of segments of the document, believed to be authored by Audrey Hale, 28, whom authorities have identified as the shooter. It was noted that Hale, who died at the scene, was once a student at the school.

Shortly after Steven Crowder shared the shooter’s manifesto on social media, he stated that Facebook censored it.
While, #NashvilleManifesto has become the number one trend on X, previously known as Twitter.
“The day has finally come!” Hale said. “I can’t believe it’s here. Don’t know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I’m a little nervous but excited too. I have been excited for the past two weeks. There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021.”
Officials of Metro Nashville Police Department say they are aware of the tweets and are receiving phone calls about them but would not confirm the legitimacy of them, WSMV 4 reports.
Background
In March, Audrey Hale, 28, tragically took the lives of three children and three adults at the Covenant School in Nashville. She later succumbed to gunshot wounds after police responded to the incident. Shortly after the shooting, authorities announced that they had recovered a manifesto believed to be written by Hale.
“The ongoing investigation into the March 27 murders of six persons inside The Covenant School continues to show, from all information currently available, that killer Audrey Hale acted totally alone,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said in a press release.
