“Rifle First!”… the instruction familiar to anyone trained in closed quarter combat targeting. That’s the reminder command of an operational expert who leads a solid sweep team through the school that ends with the elimination of the threat.
Shooter Audrey Hale dies at the hands of heroic police who engaged and eliminated the threat. Today the police released bodycam footage from multiple members of law enforcement as they entered the school in Nashville Tennessee to take down the suspect. Video prompted to 04:15 WATCH:
.
They should have kept firing until ITs movement completely stopped and then kept shooting.
Good work men!
GOD’s work…by God created MEN!
Southern men!
Awesome
This was a horrible tragedy and thank you to Hawley for framing it properly as a crime targeted to a group because of their religion. Prayers for the families of the victims and the community who must reconcile this tragedy while outside groups use it for their own purposes. I hope that there is a full investigation and in the name of transparency, true justice, and truth, there is a full forensic rendering of the investigation brought before the public. That is, not a press conference where public officials congratulate each other (although the officers in the cam video respond valiantly and demonstrate the highest ideals of their profession – something groups try and obfuscate these days). Not a mini press conference, but an hours long forensic dive into how a woman came to murder young children. It is such an inversion of societal values – societal values found in any culture, not just one ethnicity or nation – that this needs to be truly investigated by the community and presented. For some reason, we’ve ceded this ground to true crime channels and podcasts that can present biased information or omit uncomfortable truths. The officers already responded incredibly well to eliminate the threat and keep the loss of human life to a minimum. Now let’s have an investigation that is equally efficient and comprehensive.
This is how it’s done Uvalde.
And Columbine.
and that school in Florida
Parkland, and include the Mandalay Bay Massacre (FBI operation)
Valeen “Val” Schnurr, 18 in 1999.
Valeen was in the library during the shootings. She had been sitting on a chair near a table that was close to the main entrance and a window that looked out into the hallway. At the table were seated her friends Jessica Holliday (who left the table shortly after Val’s arrival), Lisa Kreutz, Diwata Perez, Lauren Townsend, and Jeanna Park. Another girl [Kelly Fleming] was seated at the table as well. Valeen had chosen to sit near, not at, the table due to the fact that she had arrived late and the table was full. While Val was reading she heard a shot and shortly after, teacher Patti Nielson came in, telling everyone to get down. Val hid moved to the table where Jessica had been and hid beneath it, along with the other girls who had been sitting there. She found herself sitting next to Lauren, who pulled her closer and told her that everything would be okay. At that time many of the students thought it was all just a senior prank.
When the shooters entered the library, all she could see was their legs. She heard them yell at Isaiah Shoels and then shoot a couple of people before one of the shooters [Dylan Klebold] moved over to her table. He shot beneath it, injuring her and Lisa Kreutz. He fired again, as fast as his gun would shoot, this time killing Lauren. Val fell out from under the table, realizing only then that her stomach and abdomen were hurt. Panicking, Val repeatedly cried out: “Oh, my God! Help me!”
There was some controversy for a while about “who said ‘yes’?” – for a long while news contended Cassie Bernall was a martyr who was shot for answering ‘yes’ when one of the shooters asked her if she believed in God. Joshua Lapp, one of the students who was in the library but uninjured stated that the killers spoke to many students, and asked more than one if they believed in God.
Outstanding maneuvers and team work by these Police Officers!
Worth going to the beginning of the video.
Tere is a war against Christianity. Not only this Trans but also the FBI. An insightful observation by Archbishop Viganò is that the Globalist Religion have taken the 10 Commandments and turned then upside down 180 degrees,. Look up the Commandments and you will see he is right in every case. This is a civilizational war.
It’s a spiritual war “We wrestle not with flesh and blood…” Lord come quickly and rescue us from these evil times.
Why doesn’t the media or Republicans refer to these violent transgenders crimes as the far left or radical left ?
The media sure has no problems with making references to the far right .
The term “trans terrorism” needs to become common.
It is.
Done !!!
From this moment forward my comments will use trans-terrorism and (above) Tom’s
“far-left / radical-left” !!!
Thank you.
“Transgression.”
Because they are already far left and do not want you to know this is their foot soldier doing their ideological agendas work for their dystopian Utopia.
and tonight on all the nightly news programs, these brave LEOs will be somehow demonized by all the leftist anchors..
Don’t watch.
They are heroes walking into the teeth of gunfire, that’s the very definition of a hero.
Watch a few news programs from the Vietnam war zone. You get the full Lefty drift. Cronkite, Hunley-Brinkley, you’ll get the Left version of news. Back then there was no internet, so if the news speak didn’t want you to know something, they just never said it. There was normally a fair amount of shooting going on, A lot of it was aimed at you, not a couple of pop pop pops. When you get in your first fire-fight, you’re shaking. It’s a little different hearing the rounds buzz just above your head! Hugging the ground had a new meaning to the newbies. These cops are trained to do this for a living, back then it was a bunch of high school seniors that shared your foxhole that got drafted. When you look death square in the face and come out the winner, you have a whole new outlook on life! I knew a lot of people that weren’t very religious, say a lot of prayers!
Every police department in the country needs to take note of the speed and pace at which these officers lined up and went to work. Great work. The communication and methodical movement and responding to the gunshots was spectacular.
Good cops should never be bothered by wearing a camera.
And their ability to act despite an understandable fear about what might be behind a door or how many there might be in the building….for the SWAT it was all about the children…hopefully other PDs are taking note
I am in awe of their bravery!
This appears to be almost textbook, These are Heroes doing their jobs protecting and serving! THANK YOU!
Definitely a terrorist attack by (He, She, It) the evil tranny.
Another soul that has been delivered to their father the Devil.
Sadly, not a good thing for that soul.
And it’s truly a pity. But honestly, I mourn for these innocent, blameless children that were executed by this “person”. At the end of the day, we are all responsible for our choices. Including myself.
Such a waste to have been shown so much darkness so as to not see the light when it was there.
Imagine if their Police Chief previously served as Chief at Uvalde, Texas…there would be stacks of bodies
There should be armed security in EVERY school. Children are our most precious asset.
They have a video of her walking into the school with the guns across her shoulder. Nobody noticed her? Once school starts there should only be one way into the school, all other exit doors locked. And there should be metal detectors at the front door. Front door locked and if you want to get in you have to buzz someone and sate what your purpose is. And the armed security should be stationed at that front door. It is so easy to protect our children but we don’t do anything about it. She wanted to try another school but it had too much security so she chose this one.
It appears the doors were locked, she shot the door glass out on her way in. Short of having bulletproof glass, full-light windows will not provide much protection against most projectiles.
“And there should be metal detectors at the front door. Front door locked and if you want to get in you have to buzz someone and sate what your purpose is. And the armed security should be stationed at that front door.”
What a f***ed up world it is when such suggestion refer not to a federal prison or nuclear missile silo but to a f***in’ elementary school.
She fired many rounds into both sets of doors in order to get into the building. I am pretty certain that everybody was hiding for cover and the adults were dialing 911.
She had been a student in this school so she knew the layout very well.
Sources for another school please?
It’s a sad commentary that people who are God loving should wish that our schools should be
armed fortresses to protect our progeny. Looks like we are getting really close to the end times if we aren’t already there. My prayers to all the people in Nashville who have been affected by this tragedy.
I totally agree about armed security guards present and highly visible in every school.
What a deterrent to the killers who plot and plan.
I do not want children raised in a prison/institutionalized manner that begets socialized terrorists like this one that attacked them.
Restore the USA Constitution, punish criminals, and execute those that are deadly to polite society not to punish them but to remove them from continuing their terrorism against the innocent citizenry.
Just follow the legal laws that abide the Constitution they have tried so hard to tear down.
Also stop robbing me and the rest to pay for the single mother industry of ideological suicide.
Allow teachers to choose to conceal carry.
Problem solved.
Cowards such as this latest example choose schools as they are “gun free zones” and only need to contend with the 1-2 half-asleep guards at the entrance. But, if there is an indeterminate number of concealed carriers beyond the front entrance and possibly within the classroom, this entire dynamic will change. The cowards won’t choose schools as their target.
Amen. GOA and my husband have been fighting for this for decades. People are so stupid and do not understand these 2nd Amendment ideas! They just want the hurt and violence to stop that they will cave and give away their freedom and the right to keep and bear arms, it’s just the sad sick truth.
What??
No 77 minutes standing in the hallway waiting for the MEN to show up???
Uvalde Texas anyone?
Bravo Zulu, Nashville PD!
Nashville PD apparently understood their active shooter response training. … Unlike the cowards in Uvalde.
Or Parkland HS in Florida 2018 if you remember….17 dead kids….17 injured and cops scared to go in….
What does the instruction “Rifle first!” mean?
You lead around corners and into new areas with your barrel pointing ahead of you, ready to fire.
Never at your side. You never enter before your barrel.
Ok, thank you.
oldersoul is correct.
to put a finer point…(no pun intended), the lead person in a stack for a building must always be a rifleman. This is because rifles have range and accuracy over handguns. And usually rifleman are better trained and expert marksman. There IS a doctrine that is logical..and the training is designed around that doctrine.
accurate distance firepower on point…he is your best marksman, well armed and properly protected. Other follow this individual in the stack to clear each room. Hollywood sometimes gets the tactics correct…sometimes not. In the real world, a police force will have this worked out and developed and especially in the special teams/units.
the other reason for the rifle in the lead is because:
you don’t know exactly what kind of firepower and defensive armor you are facing. (or any other type of weapon like explosives) the criminal can be carrying a plated vest..and other armor….0r how they are positioned in a defensive location…unknown….the common handgun is chambered in 9mm typically…this is unlikely to penetrate plated armor or defensive objects the criminal is using and is vastly more difficult to place a precise lethal shot.. typically the rifle will be .223/5.56 or perhaps .308/7.62….both quite capable of penetrating body armor at distance and passing through obstacles and still remain ballistically stable and lethal. Distance gives the team separation also…and this means people get to go home tonight….unless you MUST, you never put handguns on point.
this was about as good as it gets ..the communication and coordination AND SPEED speaks volumes to the level of training and discipline. Well done.
God Bless America
Amen!
Don’t take a pistol to a gunfight
the pistol was used at the end
Cause he had to get some trigger time.
Though Oldersoul is tactically correct, the command has nothing to do with where the barrel is pointed. The instruction has to do with the order of personnel in the stack, based on the weapon system they are carrying.
Lead with the most effective weapon.
From the post:
“‘Rifle First!’… the instruction familiar to anyone trained in closed quarter combat targeting. That’s the reminder command of an operational expert who leads a solid sweep team through the school that ends with the elimination of the threat.”
Leader. God bless, you.
I NEED 3.
With me.
MNPD Chief Drake was hired right at the Uvalde incident. He was asked wbout that in his intro Press Conference. He didnt hesitate and said that HIS Police would GO IN to take out the threat and save lives. Yesterday that is exactly what happened. From time of 911 call came in until she was dead it took only 14minutes.
She was shooting from the 2nd floor thru a window as they arrived. Oh, and Chief Drake is NOT calling her by her “new” one. He was discussing the whole scenario and continues to say “SHE” along with her name.
In her suicide text to her friend Averianna Patton, she signed it with her birth name “Audrey” and only secondarily in parentheses “(Aiden).” In the end, she signed off as Audrey.
She was mentally ill from the get go and apparently people saw an opportunity to make themselves FEEL better than to help her get better. Too bad her obsession with being a man couldn’t be steered into her loving a real man intimately and maybe giving birth to a man. She could have lived on through a man she helped create. A part of her would have been a man and God would have Loved her for it.
What a brave team! They were great!
Actually, the shooter left text messages with a friend saying she was going to do something bad and was probably going to die that day. She also said her parents knew nothing about what she was going to do.
I don’t think she lived with her mother. Her mother was anti-gun and wouldn’t let them in the house. The mother actually sent this deranged woman to that same Christian school when she was a kid because the mother is Christian…probably the father too. The shooter said she had a lot of resentment for having been made to go to school there.
Her neighbors came out and said that she just started this trans thing in the last year.
Adding rocket fuel to mental illness.
I wonder what the MSM would be saying if the school were associated with another religion other than Christian?
Please check the shoes he/she had on upon entering the school ( Black/white Puma’s). Check the shoe color he/she has on lying on the floor after being shot (orange/yellow). ??????
I think you need to look again. She has the same black and white runners on when she is laying on the ground, bent in half.
I mentioned that earlier today. They look different…
These unstable, mentally ill individuals need to be removed from society for psychiatric care, not shot up with high doses of hormones and sexually mutilated.
What next horror will the evil Left dream up to perpetrate upon people, especially the psychologically fragile.
Well, this one was removed.
Since the targets are now Christians are “guns” still bad?
The target has been Christians since Nero’s time.
And that raised Nero to a higher position than anyone else in the pantheon of Christian persecutors. He wasn’t just a bad man: for many Christians, Nero was the Antichrist himself.
“Since the targets are now Christians are “guns” still bad?”
I think it was last Friday night, Tucker did a piece about Rainbow Rebels (I believe was the name they used); gay people who were buying guns for protection, so yeah…..some guns are more equal than others.
It’s all conditional – ethics of the moment. Here’s where they are going with this….

Warning, ugly call to war.
Trans folk are mentally ill, as mentally ill as the lunatic on the street corner claiming he’s Jesus. And while not all mentally ill are dangerous to themselves and others, many are. We know this particular mentally ill individual was diagnosed with high functioning autism, which is often associated with a lack of empathy. Then we have trans/body dysmorphia and the issues associated with this which are often anxiety, depression, thoughts of and attempts at suicide, anger issues, and self-harm. We know from a friend there had been mentions of suicide. We know from released artwork there were obsessions with dark content, such as the “REDRUM” (MURDER backwards) Jack Nicholson portrait that has been released.
We need to bring back the institutions for the mentally ill that closed up shop during the Reagan administration. It is not healthy or kind to have all these mentally ill “homeless” and “functioning” (barely) in freely in society. Much like criminals, they are a risk to themselves and others. It’s very sad, but that doesn’t make it untrue.
These were very well trained officers and they preformed their job expertly. Thank God for these men.
DRT Dead Right There
Why couldn’t this sick person just take care of business by herself instead of killing babies.
Evil!
To Lucifers Children that little demon is now a martyr and a hero. Be ready for more like her/it.
The Devil doesn’t have Martyrs. He has patsies.
this is my rifle, this is my gun.
Thank God for toxic masculinity.
Thank you, Lord, for these brave 1st responders who place their lives on the line every day they walk out the door of their homes. Bless them and keep them safe, Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray.
This is how it looks when law enforcement knows their stuff.
Great work. Good for them.
I am very sad any lives were lost, but I am sure many were saved by these well-trained police.
I’m impressed. That team did a great job. Focused. Coordinated.
Great teamwork!
I know that this video will be watched by LEOs all across the country today …and probably for the next couple of weeks at briefings.
Whoever the guy is with the bodycam….a true leader during this incident.
Just really glad that the shooter was “neutralized” and the officers all made it home to their families.
Prayers for the victims and families.
So very thankful for LEOS like these and their department.
Pray that there are more departments like this one if ever it comes to a school near me.
Good Bless these Nashville officers each and everyone.
That’s how you do it. You rush the assault. Well done and saved lives.
He had to keep pushing that big guy in front of him. Finally he pushed him out of his way. I say ex military who had been in a combat zone.
I am bummed they only got to kill the ladyboy once.
There are many terms that are not useful in describing this creature.
“lady-” would be one of them.
Man…that was rough to watch. The evil unleashed in this world is an abomination.
May God wrap his loving arms around the innocents that lost their lives.
It was horrible to watch. Thinking of the terror the poor little children were living through brought me to tears.
The poor innocent babies caught up in the evil which entered their school. May God have mercy on the poor little children.
That’s how it’s done.
Was this an immaculate conception?
Holy sh*t. Thank you to the men who do this job. I can’t imagine.
I appreciate that he took the time and had the presence and clarity of mind to respond to the woman on the sidewalk with a respectful “Yes, Ma’am.”
This made me emotional, God bless our law enforcement…God bless them over and over forever and ever…
Thank you Father God for ALL of the men who protect us, local law enforcement and military.
Suspect down. As opposed to Uvalde!
Prayers for the officers in the aftermath of this horror. The shooting doesn’t get more justified, (the use of deadly force) but they will have challenges ahead…it’s called PTSD.
Prayers for the faculty, students, families and community.
Can we please start having a conversation about these shooters all being on Psychotropic drugs?
No, we can’t. It’s part of the program being unfolded upon us, and it will continue to happen just like this until the actual puppet masters are stopped, dead. By us.
No one is coming to save you, be prepared to save yourself.
Nice work, officers! (And I notice that the Good Guys are carrying…AR-15s.)
AR – America’s Rifle.
How sick is everyone of seeing this?
So easy to fix. Good people inside with firearms ready to fire on any sick fool who walk on the property or enters a school, cameras and video monitors, our tech society all doors could be look at the press of a button. I worked in a large school district for 18 years, they had a system like this in a few schools mostly elementary, minus the armed guard.
Saying money is the issue to costly, are ignoring the 30 trillion debt, money is not an issue. Saying we don’t want our schools to be or look like prisons is nonsense. Kids do not care, kids would not even go to school if all of us did not take them there and telling them this is what you are going to do for the next 17/18 years.
Obviously, the best defence is not subjecting your kids to this, teach them at home!
If anyone is contemplating home schooling, check the laws as they vary greatly by state –might be worth relocating. In some states the laws highly control the content and process and in other states there is little to no state involvemenet —-warning this variation doesn’t seem to even overlap with red v blue state.
Color-coded map by state and phone # for questions at HSLDA –national org to help parents with homeschooling: https://hslda.org/legal/
The biggest obstacle is figuring out how to financally support the family while homeschooling People use public schools as babysitters while both parents are at work. Wealthy families may be able to rely on one income and if one parent works from home that offers flexibility. Some have tried one parent working days and the other nights but it is rough on marriages in the long-term.
The FBI must not have control over the Memphis pd
Wondering what kind of vest they were all wearing? Would it stop a .223 at a close range encounter? Either way that’s really putting your life on the line to save children!!! Godspeed all those officers involved!!!
No, it would not stop a .223 at close range. Brave officers, all of them. Cool and calm leader. No hesitation like those cowards in Uvalde, Texas.
