I had just come out of the bath when all this happened. just a tragedy for everyone. Children who were hurt, people who were killed, adults. All”.
Hale had a personal website (which has since been taken down), but described herself as someone who “played video games, watched movies and played sports”.

According to US authorities, the suspect had no criminal record. John Drake told NBC News that investigators believe the shooting was due to “some resentment” Hale felt “about having to go to this school” when he was young. Police also said that Hale drew a detailed map of the school that marked all possible entry points and planned how he would enter to kill the victims.
