SCHOOL shooter Audrey Hale raises a gun on a hunt for victims, after telling a friend: "I'm planning to die today."

Hale, 28, was caught on CCTV entering the Covenant School in the US city of Nashville, Tennessee, in a shooting spree that left three pupils and three members of staff dead. The assassin was then shot dead by police.

Minutes earlier Hale, a former pupil of the private Christian academy who identified as a transgender man, had sent a suicide note to pal Averianna Patton on Instagram.

At 9.57am on Monday he wrote: "I'm planning to die today. This is not a joke. You'll probably hear about me on the news after I die. This is my last goodbye. I love you... See you again in another life."
