Officials responded to a shooting at the private Christian school, with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department confirming on Twitter that officers engaged with the shooter and the shooter is dead.Three students, three adults, and the shooter are dead, according to both the Nashville Fire Department and a hospital spokesperson from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Families of the deceased children and adults have been notified, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said.
Officials said she was armed with two assault-type rifles and a handgun. It was originally stated that she appeared to be a teenager. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is assisting in the investigation of the officer-involved situation while police continue investigating the homicides, TBI Director David Rausch said.
A neighbor working outside near the school heard five quick gunshots in succession between 10:13 a.m. and 10:29 a.m. when law enforcement and fire officials began arriving, per an interview with Fox 17 WZTV Nashville. She said officers were engaged very quickly and that the shots following were scattered, so she wasn't sure where they came from.
Preschool and pre-K students are in school from 7:50 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., so they were present during the shooting. Kindergarten through sixth grade students are in class until 3 p.m."As we continue to respond, please join us in praying for the school, congregation & Nashville community," Lee said.
