After Monday’s Nashville mass shooting, more details have emerged about the shooter and her family. It is now revealed that the mother of the shooter was an avid anti-gun activist.
After transgender Audrey Hale was identified as the suspect in the shooting, her mother, Norma Fort Hale, deleted her Facebook page; however, previous posts recovered indicated that she had strong opinions about gun control and school shootings.
Here is a post below of an anti-gun message Norma reposted.
According to the NewYorkPost:
The mother of the Nashville school shooter who killed six people — including three 9-year-olds — appeared to be a gun control activist who once urged friends on Facebook to sign a petition calling for keeping firearms out of schools.
“So important!” Norma Hale wrote in a March 8, 2018, Facebook post as she shared the petition to “Keep Guns Out of School” that appeared to be from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.
