Authorities have identified the armed assailant who killed six during a Monday rampage through a Nashville Christian school as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, a female identifying as male who authorities say once attended the school.

Nashville Metropolitan Police Chief John Drake addressed reporters Monday evening, saying "we've identified the shooter as Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old female that lived in the Nashville area."

Drake referred to Hale as "female," but told reporters that "she does identify as transgender."

"We have investigations ongoing now ... we have made contact with the father," he said. "We have also determined there were maps drawn of the school in detail, surveillance, entry points, etc."
