Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) has called on police to publicly release a manifesto allegedly written by the former student of a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, before she opened fire on children and staff members on March 27.
The 28-year-old woman, who identifies as transgender, killed three children and three adults at The Covenant School after allegedly planning the massacre by drawing out a detailed map of the school, which included potential entry points, and conducting surveillance of the building, police said.
Speaking to Fox News late on Monday, Burchett said, “Our trans youth are troubled.”
“If they don’t get the help they need they can grow up to have some serious issues, but I obviously don’t believe they’ll all grow up to be shooters like this,” he said. “We need to know what was going through this person’s head, and the manifesto should be made public.”…
