Shooter kills 3 children at Covenant School, Nashville police say; gunman dead - The Washington Post
At least three children are dead after a shooting at a private Nashville grade school, authorities said Monday. The shooter is dead, police said. Three “pediatric patients” with gunshot wounds were transferred to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, according to medical center spokesperson Craig Boerner. "All three were pronounced dead after arrival.” A person who answered the phone for the Nashville Metro Police Department referred The Washington Post to the city’s fire department, which said on Twitter that it had been treating “multiple patients” late Monday morning. Covenant is a private Christian school serving children from prekindergarten to sixth grade, according to its website. It enrolls about 200 students. Parents are being reunited with their children at the nearby Woodmont Baptist Church, police said. Footage from local TV stations showed a street clogged with SWAT vehicles and police cars with lights flashing. This is a developing story that will be updated.
