MNPD stated that Hale, acting alone, took the lives of three children and three adults, firing 152 rounds from the time the shooter entered the school until the moment Hale was fatally shot by police. Hale's writings, recovered from the shooter's vehicle and bedroom, reveal "planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at The Covenant School." MNPD also noted that Hale "considered the actions of other mass murderers."
