Interesting. Terrible. Now, three children dead, three adults. Hopefully that is all. And an injured police officer.

sounds like 5 other people, 3 kids, 2 adults, may have been transported to hospital with injuries, unless I misheard

Why oh why do we continue allowing this to happen? Those poor little angels.

I wish I had an answer.......
It's absolute madness that nothing is being done!

"Officers went to the gunfire. When they got to the second floor and saw the shooter, a female. There was a five-member unit that was on the second floor at the time," MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron said. "We know at this point that this shooter is a female and appears to be in her teens, and her identification isn't confirmed. She had two assault rifles and a handgun. She entered the school through a side entrance and went from the first school to the second floor. Three adults by 10:27 the shooter was dead."

Five others were wounded: three children and two adults.

K-6? These were babies

Well, not so fast. It would be a mistake to underestimate what a 6th-grader is capable of, but it looks like the shooter was an older female.

I am very surprised to learn that the shooter is a teen girl; we haven't seen that too many times.

Lots of evolving information. Shooter was shot by LEO within 14 minutes of call. Good job LEO. Fast work probably saved a lot of lives.

So many emotions during this but one that always breaks my heart, is the parents waiting for their kids to be bussed in. I cannot imagine the pain and the nerves of waiting for your child to hopefully get off a bus and return to your arms.

And the devestation of those who's children don't get off the bus. THIS HAS TO STOP!!!

A woman has opened fire at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, killing at least six people before she was shot dead by police, officials say. Three children are among those killed.

Monday’s target was unusual in several respects. The target was a private school, the school served elementary-age students and the suspected assailant is female.

Before Monday, just four of them involved female shooters. In those four cases, the toll was lower: a total of two people dead and one injured.

Shootings at private schools are also unusual. Just 23 of the total — 6 percent — have been at private schools. By contrast, about 23 percent of all schools in the United States are private, enrolling about 9 percent of all students in 2019.

Sounds like she made her way directly to second floor. I'm listening to replay.

How do teens learn to shoot assault weapons? Maybe it's easy... I have no idea. I guess there are many "teaching" videos to watch

From the PC: a teen girl shooter entered the school from a side entrance. 6 people have been murdered: 3 children, 3 adults. The shooter is also dead but they did not clarify exactly how old she was.

Armed with at least 2 assault type rifles and a handgun. LE is working to identify her now. She entered on the first floor, firing multiple shots, and then went to the second floor. Every person she shot has died.

Wow...awful and tragic but also unusual.
