Police in Nashville on Tuesday said that the suspect involved in the Christian private school shooting that left six people, including three children, dead was being treated for an “emotional disorder.”

Speaking at a news conference, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who police officials earlier said was biologically female and used male pronouns, “was under doctors care for an emotional disorder ... law enforcement knew nothing about the treatment she was receiving,” the chief said. Drake did not elaborate on the disorder, or the care or if she was receiving any medication.
