At a Christian school in Nashville, a shooting killed three adults and three children.















Authorities reported that a shooting at a private religious school in Nashville resulted in the deaths of three adults and three children.

Two officers shot and killed the shooter, who the police said was a white Nashville woman in her 28s.

Covenant School, a Nashville-based private religious school, was the location of the shooting. Don Aaron, a spokesperson for the Nashville Police Department, stated in a press briefing on Monday that the three adults who perished were employees and the three children who perished were students.

Aaron stated that the assailant "entered the school through a side entrance and traversed her way from the first floor to the second floor, firing multiple shots" when the initial call came in at 10:13 a.m.

He claimed that the shooting took place in a "lobby-type area" in an upper part of the school and that the shooter had two assault-style rifles and at least one pistol. He added that the shooter had passed away by 10:27 a.m.

The woman is thought to have been a former student, but the police have not revealed a motive.




According to Nashville Police Chief John Drake, the deceased children's parents have been informed. I won't say the ages at this time; all I will say is that I was literally moved to tears to see this and the children as they were led out of the building," he said.
Five of the victims were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center's emergency rooms. NPR was informed by a hospital spokesperson that two adults and three children who had been admitted to the facility had perished.
According to Aaron, there were no additional victims of the shooting. He claimed that a responding officer had been cut by glass.

Mental health professionals are available at a nearby reunification center for parents and students.

As indicated by its site, the Pledge School is a non-public school related with the Contract Presbyterian Church serving understudies from preschool through 6th grade. According to Aaron, the school would have approximately 209 students and 42 staff members on a typical day.

Nashville was added to the "dreaded, long list" of cities and towns that have experienced school shootings, according to Mayor John Cooper.

Cooper stated, "My heart goes out to the families of the victims." The entire city supports you.

The incident was described as "an unimaginable tragedy for the victims, all the children, families, teachers, staff, and my entire community" by Tennessee state Rep. Bob Freeman, whose district includes the school. Covenant is close to my house, so I frequently pass by it. Friends of mine go to both the church and the school there. I have also been to the church before. "Seeing this breaks my heart," WPLN reported.

Nashville's state senator, Jeff Yarbro, made the said on Twitter: ": The Covenant families break my heart. As a parent, I both feel sorry for them and angry for them that this kind of tragedy's fear is just accepted as part of raising kids today.
The shooting in Nashville was "a family's worst nightmare," according to President Biden, who described it as "sick" android "heartbreaking."

"To stop gun violence, we need to do more. At the White House, he stated, "It's tearing our communities apart and tearing at the very soul of our nation."
