Audrey Shot Pastor's Daughter 'because HE wasn't on site'
Nashville shooter was having 'private counseling sessions' with school's head pastor before massacre where she shot dead his nine-year-old daughter 'because HE wasn't on site'
* Audrey Hale opened fire at the private Christian Covenant School on Monday, killing six people
* She shot Hallie Scruggs, 9, and two of her classmates during the gun rampage and three members of staff
* An ex-pastor is claiming that Hale could have been targeting Hallie's father, Pastor Chad Scruggs, after disagreeing with him in a session
A former pastor of the Covenant school has claimed that trans shooter Audrey Hale was receiving counseling sessions with the father of one of her victims.
Hale, 28, opened fire at the private school in Nashville on Monday, killing three children and three staff members.
Ex-pastor at the school Jim Bachmann has now claimed that she was receiving private sessions from the current pastor of the school – Chad Scruggs.
His daughter, Hallie, 9, was one of the children gunned down in the brutal attack, and police still say they still do not have an official motive for the incident.
However these claims have been denied by the Covenant School, with a spokesperson telling DailyMail.com: 'Metro Nashville Police have been clear that no one was targeted in the shooting, and Pastor Scruggs was not counseling the shooter.
'The former pastor had said on a television program he had heard that, but it is not accurate and is based on hearsay, not fact.'
Authorities did say that Hale had planned to attack more than one location - including a mall and another school - and now Bachmann has told InsideEdition that she could have been targeting Pastor Scruggs' other three children.
He added that Pastor Scruggs had been providing her with counseling, adding that Hale 'appeared to be searching the school' for him.
However he was not on-site at the time, and Bachmann speculated that Hale would have 'left his daughter alone' had she been able to find Scruggs.

Vatican rejects doctrine that fueled centuries of colonialism
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican on Thursday responded to Indigenous demands and formally repudiated the “Doctrine of Discovery,” the theories backed by 15th-century “papal bulls” that legitimized the colonial-era seizure of Native lands and form the basis of some property laws today.
A Vatican statement said the papal bulls, or decrees, “did not adequately reflect the equal dignity and rights of Indigenous peoples” and have never been considered expressions of the Catholic faith.
The statement, from the Vatican’s development and education offices, marked a historic recognition of the Vatican’s own complicity in colonial-era abuses committed by European powers. It was issued under history’s first Latin American pontiff, who was hospitalized Thursday with a respiratory infection, exactly one year after Francis met at the Vatican with Indigenous leaders from Canada who raised the issue.
On Thursday, these Indigenous leaders welcomed the statement as a first good step, even though it didn’t address the rescinding of the bulls themselves and continued to take distance from acknowledging actual Vatican culpability in abuses. The statement said the papal documents had been “manipulated” for political purposes by competing colonial powers “to justify immoral acts against Indigenous peoples that were carried out, at times, without opposition from ecclesial authorities.”
It said it was right to “recognize these errors,” acknowledge the terrible effects of colonial-era assimilation policies on Indigenous peoples and ask for their forgiveness.
The statement was a response to decades of Indigenous demands for the Vatican to formally rescind the papal bulls that provided the Portuguese and Spanish kingdoms the religious backing to expand their territories in Africa and the Americas for the sake of spreading Christianity.
Those decrees underpin the “Doctrine of Discovery,” a legal concept coined in a 1823 U.S. Supreme Court decision that has come to be understood as meaning that ownership and sovereignty over land passed to Europeans because they “discovered” it.
It was cited as recently as a 2005 Supreme Court decision involving the Oneida Indian Nation written by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

This one proves an incredible point about shooting in conservative vs. liberal areas.
