NASHVILLE, Tenn. — (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) -- A shooter armed with two assault-style rifles and a handgun killed three students and three staff members at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday morning, authorities said.
The suspect, identified by police as Audrey Hale, 28, of Nashville, had a detailed map of Covenant School, a school for students in preschool through sixth grade, and allegedly shot through the door to gain entry to the school, police said.
Drake said he"was literally moved to tears to see" the young students as they were"ushered out of the building." The suspect had a map"of how this was all going to take place," and writings, according to Drake. It appears the shooting was a targeted attack, according to the chief.
