Former classmate of Nashville shooter speaks out | CUOMO
Police are still investigating the motive behind a shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville. Samira Hardcastle, a former classmate of the shooter, says Audrey Hale was “sweet” and “kind” when they were younger, but could also be “jittery” or “jumpy.” Hardcastle shares what she knows about the shooter's background in an exclusive interview with NewsNation.

@Christina Marsten - I agree that people can't afford mental health treatment (even medical treatment), and that's why *_free medicare for all_* is necessary to be *_implemented in the USA._* I disagree with your _blanket statement_ that mental health professionals are "giving wrong advice." Where do you get that impression? I've had therapy, from different psychotherapists and psychiatrists over the years, as needed, and it's always been focused and helpful in me *gaining insight,* and learning *effective coping and interpersonal skills* that have _changed my life for the better._ I wouldn't be alive without it. BTW, I live in Canada, where healthcare is *free* (paid through our taxes), and psychotherapy is free in hospitals for both in-patients and out-patients, as well as at community health centres. Psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and therapists in _private practice_ can charge whatever they like, which is unaffordable for those in a lower income bracket. ___________________ I can't imagine how devastating it is for Americans without government-funded healthcare, or workplace or private insurance, when faced with a health crisis, or needing tests, surgery or a hospital stay at $10,000/day! It costs $13,000 to have a vaginal birth, and $23,000 for a C-section birth at a hospital in the US. Without insurance, it's a wonder the average couple can afford to have one.
Samira is an artist & a good one. The shooter was a monster and senselessly murdered six. Children, ffs! No excuses for the wicked annihilators. Thankful to law enforcement.

Sounds like everyone was lovely to this girl. The culture has taught people to rather than work on your problems or deal with your own issues to blame others and lash out at others for your inner turmoil...😢
After watching the footage from the body cam, I can honestly say that I'm still in a state of shock and almost threw up at the time. This person blew the glass out of the front door to get in. (You don't see that everyday, that's for sure). Then shot kids and teachers. Then shot at cops through the second story window. (Another thing you don't see everyday). I'm going to assume she was on a number of pharmaceuticals, plus cross sex hormones and/or hormone blockers. Both will screw up your head completely. I know a person who is transgender. Male to female transition. Years of mental health issues, trouble with intimate relationships and family relationships. Suicidal thoughts and attempts. Aggressive behaviour, mood swings and depression. We should start asking how many people who have gender disphoria, have actually been genetically tested. I'm going to estimate that zero people have been genetically tested for this condition. It's expensive and time consuming. Without it, you cannot diagnose transgenderism. There are a number of chromosomal defects that can occur during cell division in utero. These tests need to be conducted so we know which is the best course to take in their treatment and many times the best treatment is to do nothing. If a genetic female is given male hormones, you should assume that their prognosis will not be a good one. Start messing with someone's pituitary gland and all bets are off. This is serious.

Samira Hardcastle told The Post “tomboyish” Hale had been deeply affected by the death of Sydney Sims, who was killed in a vehicle accident in August 2022, according to an obituary.” Why did Cuomo not ask about that?

So coming from someone who KNEW her, on the outside she was fine. So the issue just like most is from the inside. Feelings she didn’t deal with. Medication she may have been on? Point is, there’s never an excuse to take someone’s life unless it is in self defense. This person struggled with her own demons and made a horrible decision on how to deal with them.
Imagine how her parents feel
Audrey Hale sent text to her former friend that morning saying I love you but that she was going to do something that day which everyone would know and that she would die. She did not appear enraged but rather deliberate like a video game player.

a LOT of the mass shooters have been on the spectrum. Mainly the ones who would've been formerly diagnosed as having Aspergers (now referred to as high functioning autism). But the only thing I think could possibly contribute to their actions that is autism-related is lack of ability to connect with others, especially socially. That symptom also is part of anti-social personality disorder and others though. Autism itself doesn't cause people to kill others. It can cause them to be violent towards themselves or others during meltdowns sometimes, however. Depends on the person. Nothing like planning and carrying out a mass shooting type of violent though. More like kicks/bites/etc.

I think it may have been politically motivated. She was not accepted by her family as transgender. That is the number one reason transgender people commit suicide. Why I think it was politically motivated? The right wing media pushes the narrative that transgender people are the biggest threat to children. The only way that is true is if a transgender person picks up an assault rifle and commits a crime like this. Perhaps she believed that lawmakers would seriously consider banning assault rifles if she carried this crime out because transgenders are hated by right wing lawmakers. It’s never enough with those people though. Guns have more protection than people in this country. There is no need for people to have these assault weapons. Let them keep their hunting rifles but it’s time to stop the sale of assault weapons because the truth is there is no way to view the mental health status of someone.

Bad people can make sweet people sour. And life is a constant barrage of stress.....so life can do it too. Especially in here in the US. We allow companies to take advantage of people and those victimized rarely get justice. Criminals run rampant, and again, the victims rarely get justice. Unethical or bad behavior in this country is not a crime....it should be. Taking advantage of others should always be a crime, but it isn't. Stress, unresolved, leads to bigger problems.

The amount of shootings and tragedies in these schools and public places is ludicrous. No foresight and no hindsight being used. This is no longer political, its common sense.

Actually she never transitioned, just called herself Aiden on a few social media posts.
So Audrey Hale had a seemingly normal childhood until recently when she was given some ideas about transgender, and then she changed into a homicidal maniac. That's what this interview seems to reveal.
I want to know what kind of medication this individual was on. She went from sweet, not displaying any signs of doing something like this, to an all-out desperate rampage against innocent people and even worse, innocent children. There's always talk about the guns, but why aren't we taking a GIAGANTIC look at the pharmeceuticals she was on?? People talk about having terrible experiences and thoughts on anti psych meds. Why in the hell aren't these things being talked about in the media????

I’m so sick of Autism being brought up in these cases, individuals on the spectrum already face enough hate and persecution, they don’t need this label. This woman is irresponsible to say this, she isn’t qualified to make that assertion. ASD doesn’t make someone commit violence and the two shouldn’t be brought up together. This is just pure evil, if we want the true motive they need to release the manifesto.

Hey Chris, feedback for new stations. When speaking about a shooter, can we refrain from showing photos of them like this? US news media always likes to show a flowery images of them which I think brings too much attention and connection to them when we have victims and their families neglected in the narrative. Motives are a big question so I understand highlighting this history, but it's the photos that bother me. Humanizing people in general is understandable, but heinous crimes/cases like this I believe encourage fascination, obsession and copy cats. Also, there are inequities of portrayal and imagery between certain groups of people which is another issue.
