16-year-old Brenda who ‘didn’t like Mondays’ and other stories of women who took up guns and spread terror and death en masse
The 28-year-old transgender Audrey Hale, who yesterday spread death at an elementary school in Nashville – where she was once a student – is only the fifth female mass shooter in US history.
Yesterday, every single grifter rushed to say the Nashville shooter was male-to-female trans (AKA a man).
Wrong. She was biologically female: born Audrey Elizabeth Hale.

According to The Violence Project’s database, women make up just 2% of mass shooters across the US. Based on the data of the 192 mass shouters recorded since 1966 (including the massacre in Nashville), only 5 are women.
Meanwhile, separate data compiled by the FBI shows that only one of the 61 mass shootings in 2021 was committed by a woman.

Among the most notorious “killers” – although not included in The Violence Project’s list, was Brenda Spencer, who in 1979, at the age of just 16, stormed a Cleveland elementary school armed, killing 2 people and injuring 8 other young students.
In more recent years, there have been several other high-profile female mass shootings.
In 2015, Tashfeen Malik and her husband Syed Farook sowed death at a social services facility in San Bernardino, California when they opened fire, killing 14 people and injuring 17 others.
In 2018, 39-year-old Nasim Aghdam broke into YouTube’s headquarters near San Francisco. She began shooting indiscriminately – luckily only injuring three people – before then killing herself with her gun. The reason – according to the police – is that she was “dissatisfied” with the platform, as she believed the company censored her videos.
Years earlier, in 2006, Jennifer San Marco killed six postal workers at a sorting center in Goleta, California. where he once worked. Earlier, she had shot and killed a former neighbor in the Santa Barbara area.
