NBC News raised eyebrows on Tuesday for a report suggesting the Tennessee transgender community was under threat following the mass shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville. 

Three children, all 9 years old, and three adult staffers at The Covenant School were murdered Monday by a 28-year-old trans male who was a former student. Police shot and killed the shooter at the scene.

NBC's "Out News" division, however, appeared to frame the perpetrator as among the victims, running the headline "Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's gender identity."

The report quoted members of the local LGBTQ community. Transgender drag performer Denise Sadler told NBC News she had hired "four armed guards" to secure the gay bar she'll be hosting an event at next weekend but after the shooting, she's "planning to hire eight." 

"You don’t know if [the shooter’s gender identity] is going to trigger a community of people who already hated us to come and try to shoot us to prove a point," Sadler said.

One trans activist predicted, "More blood’s going to be shed, and it’s not going to be shed in a school."

Tri-Cities Transgender acting president Aislinn Bailey condemned the police for speculating about the shooter's gender identity without first verifying, telling NBC News, "I knew that as soon as anyone mentioned that, it was immediately going to become the center focus instead of what should be the focus, and that’s gun violence in this country… We were already fearing for our lives. Now, it’s even worse."

Critics pummeled NBC News' report on social media. 

"You gotta be kidding," RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan reacted.

"Considering a trans terrorist purposefully targeted a Christian elementary school and murdered six innocents, seems like the Christians would have more cause for concern," radio host Dana Loesch tweeted.

"Tweet would be identical if the killer had been the victim. Whatever the impetus, the response is exactly the same. Quite the trick," National Review writer Charles C.W. Cooke pointed out.

"After a trans activist murders Christian children and their caregivers in cold blood, NBC writes up as if the situation were reversed. However much you loathe the corporate press, it is not enough," Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway tweeted.

"Has NBC News done any reporting on how children who attend Christian schools are feeling?" Ruthless podcast co-host Comfortably Smug asked.

"Eye on the ball, guys. Let us not lose sight of the real victims of things people imagine could happen in the future in our misguided attention to the actual victims of a thing that happened yesterday," conservative podcast host Mary Katharine Ham wrote.

Even some GOP lawmakers took swipes at the liberal network. 

"It didn’t take you long to twist that," Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tn., told NBC News.

"Those fearing for their lives are the people who have been targeted for hate crimes - the children and teachers of the Christian school," Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tweeted.

"Typical left wing garbage. Six Christians, including three children, were violently murdered. The trans community is ~not~ the victim here," Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., wrote.

NBC News did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp put his support behind a measure to expand funding for private school vouchers after the legislation passed the state Senate.

Kemp endorsed Senate Bill 233 on Monday. It was the first time he publicly backed the legislative effort to expand school choice in the Peach State. The bill would provide a $6,500 annual voucher for students' education.

In an interview Monday with Atlanta radio host Erick Erickson, the governor said the legislation was a "good bill" and called on House lawmakers to pass the bill before the legislative session ends on Wednesday.

"I’m hopeful that we can get this over the finish line," Kemp said. "I think they’ve really done a good job of legislating. They’ve also listened to a lot of the critics that are out there and taken some of their suggestions about accountability and other things."

"It’s just got to get the votes in the House, and I feel like they’ll be able to do that," he continued.

The governor also joined the closed-door Georgia House GOP caucus meeting on Tuesday to give what one attendee said was his "full-throated support" for the legislation to expand funding for private school vouchers, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The governor had largely taken a behind-the-scenes approach with the state Legislature since his reelection, opting to stay quiet about his stance on pieces of legislation. But Monday's endorsement of Senate Bill 233 just ahead of the end of the legislative session could signal he is looking to be more aggressive to advance the measure.

A group of lawmakers, consisting of mostly Republicans, backed a measure this year to give each student a $6,500 voucher to spend on a private or home school education to expand families' educational options beyond public schools. 

The state would deduct public schools’ funding for each student that takes their education dollars elsewhere.

Opponents of the bill say the vouchers would hurt local public school systems needing additional funding, particularly those in poorer communities.

Last year, a similar $6,000 private school voucher proposal failed to pass.

But this year's measure has gained momentum as it has already passed the Senate with a 33-23 vote earlier this month and is now in the hands of House lawmakers. Both chambers have Republican majorities.

The proposal stalled in the House last week but could get another vote before the legislative session ends on Wednesday.

"We’re going to continue to remain vigilant and be strong supporters of choice in education," Kemp said.
