Transgender Nashville school shooter drew chilling images and cartoons trends now
The 28-year-old who opened fire at a Nashville school on Monday, killing three nine-year-olds and three staff members, sold disturbing art online as a transgender artist.
Audrey Hale, 28, was shot dead by police after staging her attack.
Police said she was transgender, and online used the pronouns 'he/his' - although they referred to Hale, who was born female, as 'she'.
Hale ran an online art side, Audrey Hale Illustrations, and described her work as: 'Commercial Illustration and Graphic Design'.
Hale also had a social media account promoting the art, where Hale referred to herself by the name Aiden.
Hale's work included a drawing of Jack Nicholson from The Shining, with lettering including his catchphrase 'Where's Johnny?'

The drawing had the words 'Red Rum' written across it - murder, spelt backwards. The words were written on a mirror in a scene from the 1980 horror film.
Hale also created an image of some feet stretching up towards the sky, with a person in recline, perhaps swinging on a swing.
'To be a kid forever and ever,' the caption states.
Hale also appeared to draw cartoons for a children's book, 'Toys and Books'.
Hale left a detailed manifesto and plan for the shooting at her home, and another in her car.
John Drake, chief of Nashville police, told NBC News he believed 'resentment' lay at the core of her behavior.
Hale described herself as a graphic designer and illustrator
