The Nashville school shooter warned that 'something bad is about to happen' in messages to a former middle school basketball teammate less than 20 minutes before police said they received calls about a shooter.
Averianna Patton said she saw the Instagram messages at 9:57 a.m. Monday, less than 20 minutes before police said they received calls about a shooter at the private Christian school.
Hale is transgender, Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake said. In the first message sent to Patton, Hale signed it as"Audrey ." "He text back, 'YES' in all caps. So after that, that's when I started making calls," she told NBC's"Nightly News."
