Neighbors from Hale’s suburban community — where her parent have lived in their $700,000 home for over three decades — said they were unaware that the suspect had transitioned but recalled her being a “skater, tomboy type.”
“She introduced herself about a year and a half ago as Audrey,” one neighbor claimed. “I treated her like a female and she didn’t correct me.”
“She seemed artistic, quiet, and well-mannered,” the neighbor added.
Police claimed Hale intended to attack her family members but was killed at the school by responding officers before she could.
