Three children and three adults are dead following a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. Police responded to calls for shots fired at the Christian Covenant School and killed the shooter, a 28-year-old woman.
"All of the remaining students were able to be escorted out of the building with faculty and staff," Kendra Loney of the Nashville fire department said.
"But we are sure that they heard the chaos that was surrounding this, so we do have mental health specialists and professionals that are at that reunification site for both the students and the families." School shootings are alarmingly common in the United States, where the proliferation of firearms has soared in recent years, though female shooters are extremely rare.
