NASHVILLE, Tenn. — -- A friend of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale tells ABC News that she contacted local authorities on Monday morning after Hale messaged her online about"planning to die today" -- but that the authorities didn't come to speak to her until after the attack had taken place.
She said was contacted Monday morning by Hale, who told her,"I'm planning to die today. This is not a joke. You will probably hear about me on the news after I die." She spoke to someone at the suicide prevention line who suggested she call local authorities, according to Patten. When she did, they said they would send someone out to her location to review the screenshots, Patton said.
Page said that Hale and her were"more so acquaintances" than friends, but Hale would come to various events that Patton hosted around Nashville, and that Hale, a graphic designer, would post drawings of Patton on social media. "I knew she liked girls, but I didn't know anything about the preference of the he/she or switching over or transgender ... I only know her as Audrey," Patton told ABC News.
