Nashville school shooting leaves at least 3 children, 3 adults dead: police Female suspect also dead in shooting at the Covenant School, police department said At least three children and three adults were killed in a shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday.

Nashville Metropolitan Police Chief John Drake, at an update just before 2 p.m., said officers have notified the families of the victims. He told reporters police would "refrain" from making public the ages of the children killed in the shooting.

Drake said officers responded to a 911 call about an active shooter at the Covenant School at 10:13 a.m. CT. Police entered the school on the first floor and began clearing it when they heard gunfire on the upper level. They located the suspect, who was armed with at least two semi-automatic weapons and a handgun, on the upper level firing shots in what a police spokesperson described as "a lobby-type area."

Two members of the five-member team on the site opened fire and killed the suspect by 10:27 a.m. Drake said he was "moved to tears seeing this and the kids as they were being ushered out of the building" and that his "heart and prayers go out to the families of the six people who were tragically [killed]."

But he said police and other emergency responders "came together and addressed this situation as quickly as possible."

"This is the ultimate crime when schoolchildren and caregivers are the victims of senseless gun violence," District Attorney General Glenn Funk told reporters at the same press conference.
