A 28-year-old woman armed with several guns opened fire on Monday at a private Christian school she once attended, killing three children and three adults before police killed her, authorities said. The woman was carrying at least two semi-automatic rifles and a handgun, police said.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department began receiving calls at 10:13 a.m. of a shooter at The Covenant School, which teaches elementary school-age children. Officers arriving on the scene reported hearing gunfire coming from the school’s second floor, police spokesperson Don Aaron told reporters. Two officers from a five-member team shot the assailant in a lobby area, and she was pronounced dead by 10:27 a.m. “The police department response was swift,” Aaron said.—Agencies
