[LaborDayRN]

Absolutely. But she had the capability to cause worse and did not. Imo.

Agreed. Because she was neutralized by LE.

Since we know she’s likely a teenager

She's a 28 year old woman

Now they're saying the shooter was a 28 year old woman from Nashville. The LE press conference less than an hour ago described her as a "teenage girl." That's where the confusion came from.

Parent of a student who was bullied or had issues at the school? Former employee?

I just can’t understand how this came to happen

 

[Leilei]

Update: shooter was 28 years old. Still highly unusual. Was she a former or current employee? A church member? A parent? My head is spinning trying to process this.

28 year old. so disgruntled staff member or mother...

Unless she was covered head to toe, and there has been no indication that she was, how do you mistake a 28-year-old woman for a teen? That said, if they know she is 28, she must have been identified by now, so we may be getting a name soon...

CNN just reported that shooter is 28 year old female with 2 AR’s and a pistol. Entered from side entrance. LE responded quickly and shooter killed. 3 children and 3 adults dead. Good grief!!!

Thank you for the update! I still thought it was a teenage girl.

Or a mentally ill stranger.

Perhaps she dressed like a teen and looked young enough.

CNN reports this is 129th mass shooting this year.

Domestic dispute (possibly spouse to an employee?) sounds more probable to me than an angry parent, since we have more recorded incidences of women killing partners or their own children than we do of females engaging in spree/mass shootings. Former employee may also be possible but still seems very odd.

Perhaps she dressed like a teen and looked young enough.

An easy assumption to make if she simply braided her hair or wore a backpack. Maybe she wore clothes from a nearby mall. Or was short. There’s a lot of different reasons, especially in the heat of the moment, such a guess could be made.

Woman kills 3 children, 3 adults in shooting at Nashville school, police say

A shooter is dead Monday after she killed six people — three students and three school staff members — at a private Christian grade school in Nashville, authorities said.

www.wsbtv.com

''Update 2:05 p.m. EST March 27: Police identified the woman who shot and killed six people Monday at The Covenant School as a 28-year-old Nashville woman.

Officials did not immediately release the woman’s name. It was not clear whether she had connections to the private grade school.

The woman died when two police shot at her as she was firing bullets on the second floor of The Covenant School, Don Aaron of the Metro Nashville Police Department said.''

Fire officials tried to shield kids ‘from seeing exactly what was going on’ after shooting​

Update 1:45 p.m. EST March 27: Kendra Loney of the Nashville Fire Department said mental health specialists would be available for students and families following the deadly shooting at The Covenant School.

Loney said fire officials swept the building looking for survivors on Monday morning. They transported three children and two adults from the scene.

“All of the remaining students were able to be escorted out of the building with faculty and staff,” Loney said. “We’re not sure about the processes that they had in place, but we were on scene to help them mitigate anyone from seeing exactly what else was going on, but we’re sure that they heard the chaos that was surrounding this.”

Fire officials set up a reunification center for students and their families. They said they transported more than 100 students and staff members to the center.

Authorities working to identify female shooter, 6 victims​

Update 1:40 p.m. EDT March 27: Don Aaron of the Metro Nashville Police Department said authorities were working to identify the shooter and the six people killed at The Covenant School on Monday.

The shooter got into the school through a side entrance and fired several shots as she moved from the first to the second floor, Aaron said. She was confronted by five police officers as she was firing shots on the second floor, he said. Two of the officers opened fire, killing her.

“She appears to be in her teens, although her identification has not been confirmed at this juncture,” Aaron said at a news conference. “We know that she was armed with at least two assault-type rifles and a handgun.”

Agreed. Because she was neutralized by LE.

She had a lot of time between when she shot and when police killed her though. And yet she shot no one else. Thank God. But shooters seem to keep shooting until they are stopped. Imo.
