where three kids were murdered. and now you see her sucking through the hallways of the school. t got this video moments ago. we were looking forward to seeing that manifesto andat learning more about what happened today. our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families. greg gutfeld is next. >> todd: a fox news alert come a chilling new look inside the christian elementary school where three innocent children and three innocent adults were murdered. the shooting that left the sea there city of nashville absolutely heartbroken. you're watching "fox & friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> ashley: . >> ashley: i am ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus and 28-year-old transgender former student blasting her way inside of the school and walking the hallways as she carried out her

calculated and planned attack. >> todd: investigators pouring through the trove of evidence left behind including text messages simply for that shooting. jackie ibanez joins us with the latest, jackie. >> that video is absolutely chilling. to go two co-ops are shooting dead suspected gunmen audrey hale less than 15 minutes into the deadly rampage that left three 9-year-old ten faculty members in the school dead. >> i was literally in tears to see this and the kids as they were being ushered out of the building. >> we have identified the suspect as a 28-year-old female white, actually at one point she was a student at the school but unsure what year. speak with the police say she arrived at the school in her gray honda fit on the screen and moments later hale is inside shooting her way into the school

calmly doing so, crashing through the blow can work glass to get inside. armed with two rifles and a handgun and after climbing the stairs to the second floor, she opened fire from a second floor and also through the blow can work glass hit responding police car. the officers michael entered the school fatally shooting a suspect. just a half an hour before former middle school basketball team made of audrey hale's received these disturbing texts. in them hale says she no longer wants to live adding, "this is not a joke." despite an attempt to reassure hale, hale replies, "i just need to die." a transgender man likely planned though shooting ahead of time and that maps of the school with maps on different entry points. the suspected gunmen also out scoped the school in person ahead of the attack.

the investigators revealing that hale wrote a manifesto congresswoman said it would be to understand what happened here. if they don't get the help they need, we will have some serious issues. but i obviously don't believe they will all grow up to be shooters like this. we need to know what was going on in this person's head and the manifesto shooting in public. we will have the national community left reeling from this incident last night. they hold a prayer vigil for the six victims that the covenant school released the following statement writing, "our community is heartbroken. we are shocked coming off the tear that shattered our school and church. we are focused on loving your students, family, faculty and staff and in the process of healing." it is still unclear about the national police chief said hale could have had "resentment for having to go to that school."

actually, todd. >> todd: so many unanswered questions, jackie thank you. navy seal jonathan emma we are still less than 24 hours from the shooting. what are investigators doing literally as we speak right now? they are coming through the evidence to try to figure out what the motivation was here about somebody who has mental illness, the motivation may be completely faced in false reality. so, you know, when you have these types of attacks, the investigation is really to put the pieces together. it is also, of course, to find out if there is any association with anybody that may have helped planned this and where the guns came from and so on and so forth. the details of the investigation but unfortunately in an investigation like this, it is putting the pieces together for

the families and so they can close this case. there is not going to be anything that comes out of this as far as prosecution goes. >> ashley: yeah, that leaves the question, who will be held responsible as far as getting justice for the lives lost? i understand manifesto will be keyed to put the pieces together in this plot that was planned by this person. but you know, jonathan, i want to go to these text messages. the friend of the shooter said that she had reached out that morning saying that she was going to die today. there is a couple of ways it can go, but i want to go this route. she said, you will probably hear this on the news after i die. how much does a role does the media play in this? obviously, they have to cover it, but it was troublesome to see that she said, "you will see this on the news." >> right, so, here is the

reality but this is that these people that are doing these types of overt actions are typically either trying to show that they are dominant, which we have seen in the case of the many people before. or they have no longer have the will to live and they want to for somebody else to kill them. but in some of these cases, there is mass shooting going on, i think there is much deeper issues going on here. and the hatred, they have a hatred at some point. they have confusion in their mind. not only do they want to die, but there is something in there pushing them to kill others. and i have to tell you, this is -- this is not just a tragedy. this is something we are seeing reoccurring. i was doing my research to come on here and it is a fact that the majority of school shooters

and mass shooters that we have had in the recent history in this nation are all people who have had sexual identity dysfunctions. and the medical industry no longer will diagnose people with these these functions. they classify these people as having medical conditions. and this is a problem because people are growing up playing video games, which this person a video game fanatic. they do not understand who they are what their gender or sexuality is because of the way that society has changed. i'm reading the stories that are out in the media and i can't even tell if this person was a transgender or transgender woman and it is reported as a woman but when the police actually put out the press notifications, they were saying they identify this person from the car and calling them a male. when you go to linked in, it is

saying he/him. so, they were of such confusion and people now that we have psychological issues that are beyond schizophrenic and supporting these things and causing mass confusion to the point that people are going out and killing. until we start looking at the reality of what it is, we will continue to have these types of attacks. >> todd: they were so many questions to your point, jonathan, the experts need to provide us answers on here they need to get in the trenches with these individuals to give those individuals answers to give them help. you heard congressman comment there in jackie ibanez's piece pier that is so crucial at a time right now. it is not about demonizing certain segments of our society. we are all humans. it is about getting humans that help they need. speaking of help, i want to dive into the text message that

ashley raised to you. that teammate also alleged that she called authorities to let them know about this potentially dangerous situation that they were going to kill themselves. they are on your screen planning to die today is the exact reference. but when she called the authorities, she felt she was not getting a fair amount of urgency from those authorities. your thoughts on that. i do want to be extremely clear when i distinguish the authorities i reference now from the individuals who went inside the building and saved countless lives by their quick and heroic actions. i'm talking about the people that this basketball teammate first contacted about a perilous situation. >> so here is the reality, todd. i didn't come up with this term but it is an excellent term where we have -- we have institutional inbreeding. so we are looking at tactics, techniques and procedures that law enforcement uses that are

outdated. we have seen multiple times where there have been mass shooters and law enforcement has pulled responding officers out of the building, out of the shoot-out where they are pressing forward in order to put a hostage negotiator or s.w.a.t. team. in that time many, many people were killed. it is the same thing here. law enforcement has to change when the attackers change peer that is not occurring. attackers, they are changing in their tactics and evolving and law enforcement is not evolving. i want to say this other thing the power, we see ideological beliefs that people have. but now ideological demands. when we demand young people look at themselves in certain ways, when we demand law enforcement react in certain ways, those things may be based in something that is not reality. we need to start looking at truth. we need to start asking what is

going on here? what tactics do we use now in these cases? all of that is something that if we want to solve these issues and one a better response time and save lives, we have to look at this whole issue as a society and law enforcement and mental health. we will have to look at it totally different. we have seen and covid, doctors in the medical industry are looking at health issues based on politics. i believe that is the problem we have here whether mental health, sexual identity or tactics of procedures, they are looking at these things from a political standpoint, not a solution standpoint. that is the biggest problem we have. >> todd: six, beautiful lights are gone. three of them 9-year-old children, it is sad. jonathan thank you for your time this morning. appreciate it.

about having tools and the ability to access their kids accounts and have oversight peer that is what we are trying to do in the state of utah. >> ashley: when the governor was explaining this, the parent would have to overrate 10:30 each night when the app would shut off but is it a code or face recognition? how would that work and how would it be enforced? >> those are great questions. what we will do with legislation the department consumer protection is working directly with tech companies to work outside of the technical details of that bill. it would be a tool parents could use. the languages very clear the default setting and the default is for it to shut off middle of the night 10:30 until 6:30 and the parents could override that which, we hope parents don't. we hope kids get some sleep in those accounts go off at night. i think we have a real problem with basically social media

causing alarm problems in the public. we really are hopeful this legislation are a positive impact. >> todd: the why is why did you find folks in utah think this was ultimately necessary? a step like this? >> let me jump me jump you and why you think it is necessary. some of the data from the cdc with our session. a survey of 17,000 kids ninth grade through 12th grade and the stats were absolutely startling. we found that 30% of our girls across the nation seriously complement filmic contemplated suicide from 2009 onward appear there was almost a hockey stick of data that kids are becoming more and more depressed. 57% of 13 girls of loneliness and an issue we are concerned about. we want to take a stand and the data we have seen indicate social media is a big workup here that is why we want to act as a state.
