Covenant School Shooter targeted another place but decided against that “because of a threat assessment by the suspect of too much security”

Mar 28, 2023 | Gun Free Zones, Mass Public Shootings

“It was the only school that was targeted. There was another location that was mentioned, but because of a threat assessment by the suspect of too much security, they decided not to,” Drake said. “That area was here in Nashville, so we’re continuing with that investigation as well.”

UPDATE:

“[Nashville Council Member Robert Swope] told The Post that Hale had “looked at” two other schools, both public, before deciding “the security was too great to do what she wanted to do.”
