The shooting occured at Covenant School, which is part of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville.
There was a child sex abuse cover-up at Nashville Covenant Presbyterian Church beginning around 2007-8 involving the Pastor sexually abusing a child. The Pastor admitted it, but the Church did not excommunicate him until 2 years later and NEVER reported it to the police.
In 2012, the police investigated the unnamed girl's sexual abuse allegations, which they substantiated. However, the girl accuser was 18 at the time & it was past the statute of limitations. No criminal charges were filed.
18 years old in 2012 + 11 years = 28 or 29 years old today.
Was the shooter a child sexual abuse victim of the Covenant Church?
Here's my research dump so far. Merry Christmas.
Austin Davis was a member of the church that tried to expose the coverup, and the church kicked him out of the church and allegedly even sent some kind of armef security to his home to intimidate him into silence. He subsequently sued Covenant Presbyterian, some of those documents linked below.
"A Presbyterian church covered up for a "confessed child molester," and "in cult-like fashion" put children in the molester's so-called "safe house," a family claims in court.
Austin Davis and his daughter Daisy sued the Covenant Presbyterian Church of Nashville and its parishioner Dale Lewelling, in Davidson County Court.
Mike Huckabee co-author was (one of?) the alleged child sex abuser.

There are a lot of fairly big political names associated with the child sex abuse cover-up.
