Nashville School Shooting: Infatuation and Tragedy Lead to Deadly Attack.
Audrey Hale, the suspect in the Nashville school shooting that killed three children and three staff members, had become "infatuated" with a late schoolmate, Sydney Sims, in the months leading up to the massacre. Hale repeatedly posted about Sims on social media and sent a gift to her family after her death. While Hale's former classmate does not believe they were close, she thinks Hale "admired" and was "infatuated" with Sims. Investigators are still working to determine the motive for the attack, which has been described as both planned and targeted.
