The man who apparently attacked Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) staffer on Saturday had been released from a 12-year prison sentence just one day before the attack was carried out.

Glynn Neal, the alleged attacker, was sentenced to 12 years and four months in prison in 2011 on charges of "compelling an individual to live a life of prostitution without his or her consent" and "threat to kidnap to injure a person," per Fox 5.

The report noted that Paul staffer Phillip Todd was approached by Neal on a street in Washington, DC before stabbing Todd, resulting in "life-threatening injuries," according to Paul's office.

The DC Police Department posted on Twitter, saying that the Metropolitan Police had made an arrest. The arrest was reportedly made in reference to "an Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife)."

While Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale targeted the school, he noted that the victims were picked at random.

Hale was a former student at the school, according to police.

"We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident," Drake said during a press conference Monday. "We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place."

During the search of the shooter's home, police said, they also recovered a sawed-off shotgun and a second shotgun.

During a press conference, Drake referred to Hale by female pronouns but also said the shooter identified as transgender without providing more clarity.

The Tennessean later reported that a police spokesperson said Hale used he/him pronouns and those pronouns were listed on a LinkedIn page used by Hale.

The victims in Monday's awful attack were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and Williams Kinney, all just 9, as well as custodian Mike Hill, 61, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and Katherine Koonce, 60, who was the school's headmaster.

Multiple vigils across the community Monday night grieved for the slain students and staffers.

At Belmont United Methodist Church, mourners prayed, sang, and lit candles as they at one point said together "we confess we have not done enough to protect" the children killed or wounded in shootings.

"We need to step back. We need to breathe. We need to grieve," said Paul Purdue, the church's senior pastor.

"We need to remember. We need to make space for others who are grieving. We need to hear the cries of our neighbors."
