Increasingly, evidence suggests that federal taxpayer dollars are being funneled—through NGOs, grants, fraud, and systemic corruption—into the hands of those destroying this country.

The latest example comes from a report by the Tennessee Star, which indicates that the transgender individual who murdered six people at Covenant Christian School in Nashville in March 2023 may have purchased firearms using federal student aid money. Journal pages released this week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation show the shooter meticulously comparing firearms and recording grant payments received through FAFSA and Nossi College of Art and Design—including Pell Grant funds—alongside notes about gun purchases. The documentation appears to corroborate statements previously made by the shooter’s parents to Nashville police, with the mother bluntly stating, “It was the grant money.” The case underscores a growing and alarming pattern: taxpayer funds meant to educate and uplift are instead being misused, with no meaningful safeguards, oversight, or accountability—sometimes with deadly consequences.

Report: Transgender Who Attacked Nashville Christian School Bought Guns with Federal Grant Money

By AWR Hawkins

A report by the Tennessee Star appears to show that the transgender individual who killed six at Covenant Christian school on March 27, 2023, purchased her guns with federal grant money.

The Star points to pages from a journal the she allegedly kept during 2021.

Copies of the journal pages were released by the FBI Monday, and readers can see how the transgender shooter compared and contrasted certain aspects of various guns–including various sight configurations and accuracy.

After weighing different types of guns, the Star noted that the shooter, a woman who felt she was a man, referenced the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and numerous payments received from Nossi College when she was attending the Nossi College of Art and Design in Nashville.

At the top of one entry, the transgender shooter wrote, “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86.”

Below that she noted: “$2,656.87 (x3 checks from Nossi).” The next ledger entry states, “+$530.00 (x1 check Nossi) ($3,186.87).”

The Star summarized: “[The] reference to Hale’s federal student aid, located in the writings next to her entries about guns she considered buying, appears to corroborate the claims made by her parents to Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives in 2023, when they told law enforcement their child purchased the firearms using federal Pell Grant money.”

Speaking to the Nashville Metropolitan Police, the shooter’s mother said, “It was the grant money.”
