A Facebook post by Pastor Tim Dunavant includes a photo of Mike Hill, along with the following heartfelt message:
I didn’t want to say a name until it had been announced officially. And now, I’m not real sure what to say.
This picture is Mike Hill. He was the last employee that I hired when I ran the kitchen at the Covenant church and school. That was over 13 years ago. he was still working there today when he was shot and killed. I don’t know the details yet. But I have a feeling, when it all comes out, Mike’s sacrifice saved lives. I have nothing factual to base that upon. I just know what kind of guy he was. And I know he’s the kind of guy that would do that.
Goodbye Mike, I’m going to miss those encouraging texts out of the blue from you.

This is all so heart breaking. My prayers are with the Covenant church and school. I pray for all those affected by this violence..may the Lord wrap you in his arms.
May God Bless and take these loving souls into heaven to rejoice with Him. Forever and ever. Amen.
This breaks my heart when I look at those faces of the victims, and how distraught the parents of these children must be. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say, events like this today and any evil in this world is the works of satan. When will this world wake-up and see they need to turn from sin and live for God. If satan had no followers, he would have no power!!
They all gain wings. God will bring them home. Praying for the families. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for all these families..God be with them all. Mental illness is a huge problem in this country. This makes me so angry! Why did this sick guy feel like he had to kill innocent people. Just sick!
Dede…Do you believe in a spiritual world? There are only two sides, GOOD and evil. Guess who controlled his mind? Yes, it’s really that simple.
The shooter was a BIOLOGICAL FEMALE!
The shooter was a BIOLOGICAL MALE.. read the following statement from law enforcement.
The shooter was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville resident, who identified as a transgender woman. Investigators were investigating a home connected to her. Nashville police Chief John Drake said Hale possibly prepared for the shooting, including having written a manifesto.
Both law enforcement and news media were using conflicting terminology in reporting on Monday, which caused some initial confusion. However, the shooter was a biological FEMALE, who had begun to dress as a male and starting using “he/him” pronouns.
For photos of Audrey Hale from her mother’s Facebook page, see this story:

Why not Hales picture? Usually they splash the shooter all over every venue??? Why not her because she’s trans????
We shared her photos in multiple other reports, but for this report, I just wanted to honor the victims. For photos and details of the shooter, see this report: https://dennismichaellynch.com/news-alert-manifesto-left-behind-by-transgender-nashville-school-shooter-reveals-chilling-plans/
It’s picture has been on the news enough. Too bad most of the asylums and sanatoriums were closed years ago. Society’s number of aberrant individuals is at an all-time high.
Lucifer welcomes home one of his own.
Yes, you get it!
My heart breaks 💔 for the family. Prayers 🙏 for healing. nothing is worse then losing a child
Your never the same. I know !! God be with you all
Hugs 🤗
Why did Fox announce this afternoon it was a female shooter?
Prayers for the families of the victims. May the good God and Jesus be with each one who has lost a loved one, including the perps family. There will be justice. Mankind is not capable of loving rule.
I read and thought the shooter was a male pretending to be a female, now I’m seeing it was actually a female wanting to be a male who did this, still a twisted mind !
These tragic events are coming fast and furious as Jesus himself told his profits they would. Jesus describes end of times being “baby pains”. As labor progress the pains get more intense and frequent, as will these devil inspired events. Prepare for his coming. I’m praying for the families and friends of the victims and may God Bless them all. The shooter has been sent to the pits of Hell and will burn and suffer continually while the victims are in Paradise with God.
