The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department reported that three students and three staff members were shot and killed at the Covenant School in Tennessee’s capital city on Monday morning. About 209 kids attend The Covenant School, a private Christian school with 40 to 50 staff members serving students in nursery through sixth grade.
Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old who is thought to have previously attended the school, was named as the attack’s culprit by law enforcement authorities. According to Nashville authorities, Hale may have opened fire at her own previous school out of “resentment,” which resulted in the deaths of three children and three adults.
The shooter had no prior criminal history, but the 28-year-old can be seen traveling to the school in a silver Honda Fit and firing at two glass doors in surveillance video from the school that was made public by the police. She carried a nine-millimeter handgun and two assault-style weapons. Hale sported a vest, reversed baseball hat, and cargo trousers. Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all nine years old, as well as adults Cynthia Peak, were named as the casualties of the attack at the Nashville school.
