A deadly shooting unfolded in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday, leaving at least three children and three adults dead in addition to the shooter.
A spokesman for Vanderbilt University Medical Center confirmed that three pediatric patients were taken to their facility, all having suffered gunshot wounds. All three were pronounced dead after arrival, according to hospital spokesman John Howser.
A Highland Park mother who survived last summer’s Fourth of July parade mass shooting addressed reporters on the scene of Monday’s deadly mass shooting at a school in Nashville, pleading for lawmakers to pass gun safety laws in hope of reducing mass shootings.Officers began clearing the first story of the school when they heard gunshots coming from the second level, police spokesperson Don Aaron said during a news briefing.
Two officers from a five-member team opened fire in response, fatally shooting the suspect at 10:27 a.m., Aaron said. He said there were no police officers present or assigned to the school at the time of the shooting because it is a church-run school. The female shooter was killed by police on the second floor of the school building at The Covenant School within 15 minutes of the first 911 call reporting that she had opened fire. She entered the school through a side door on the first floor, police said, and she has not yet been identified.
