A woman who survived last summer's mass shooting at a Fourth of July Parade in Highland Park pleaded for lawmakers to pass improved gun safety legislation after authorities announced three students and three staff members were shot to death Monday morning at a private elementary school in Nashville.
As a press conference held by Metro Nashville Police concluded Monday afternoon, Ashbey Beasley stepped up to the microphone and asked reporters, "aren't you guys tired of covering all these mass shootings?"
Since the shooting in Highland Park last summer, Beasley said she's met with over 130 lawmakers in Washington D.C., lobbying for improved gun safety laws. "Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens. It has overtaken cars. Assault weapons are contributing to the border crisis and fentanyl."
Authorities say they believe the 28-year-old female shooter who killed three children and three adults at The Covenant School on Monday was a former student.
