Bystander video captured the moments when students in Nashville were escorted by police following a shooting at Covenant School.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone else was wounded in the attack. Other students walked to safety Monday, holding hands as they left their school surrounded by police cars, to a nearby church to reunited with their parents.

The fire department said it responded to an “active aggressor” but did not give any specifics. Other details about the shooting were not immediately available. Jozen Reodica heard the police sirens and fire trucks blaring from outside her office building nearby. As her building was placed under lockdown, she took out her phone and recorded the chaos.On WTVF TV, reporter Hannah McDonald said that her mother-in-law works at the front desk at The Covenant School. The woman had stepped outside for a break Monday morning and was coming back when she heard gunshots, McDonald said during a live broadcast.

The grade school has 33 teachers, the website said. The school’s website features the motto “Shepherding Hearts, Empowering Minds, Celebrating Childhood.”

When are they going to tell them they are less important than a gun?

This has to stop or we are going to loose our children

This is not the fault of the GOP. Everyone here makes it like the GOP opened fire and killed three 9 year olds.

Heart breaking to watch. These kids are so young, and traumatized from this. Thats not even considering the three 9 year olds that were killed. This such a tragedy. My heart really goes out to them.

Security on the doors where is it, got them at government buildings all over.

Juan Ciscomani is one of four congressman sponsoring HR 1095 making the AR 15 our national gun. He is vulnerable in 2024. VOTE HIM OUT.

Here is the pic of the school (building to the right) and the bus, so if kids getting on bus, how are they so far away for the holding hands video?

Just interesting that all school shootings have the same videos of the kids walking holding hands: Uvalde, Sandy Hook....... where is the school bus they were supposed to get in that CNN posted to go to a reunification site? This looks far from the school, the bus was close

😢💔

Why are Biden and democrats willing to let children die? Why send money everywhere else except to protect schools and kids? In May 2022, Biden said he didn't believe in hardening schools against people like this killer, yet he's protected by armed guards 24/7. Let that sink in.

This is completely unacceptable in a civilized society. We have failed our children and our parents.

Failed nation.

Sadly this is USA, self proclaimed civilised state, where you can't buy a lottery ticket but sure can a riffle ! 😂

The most shocking thing about this was a 28 year old did this to kids . It wasn’t a mentally messed up teenager How can an adult want to kill children?

Hey NRA and GOP, there were survivors. Hope they grow up to vote against you.

so incredibly heartbreaking to see.

Children need a childhood!

Sadly, I’ve become numb to mass and school shootings. They happen all the time. Gun violence is a social cancer that will never be solved by partisan politicians. It’s unacceptable. Congress, when will you finally act? GOP UTPOL BasedMikeLee SenatorRomney RepBlakeMoore

Safest country on the planet....Ammericaaa..

Only in America.

Check with other districts. Not active shooting protocol anymore.

Nothing makes sense anymore

So sad and inexcusable

JFC what are they now, DAILY? 😔😔

Law Enforcement did a Great Job in Reacting & Securing Scene Quick🙏

So sad.

They. Are. Babies. Look at how brave they are.

These children were getting a Christian Education to fearmonger Christians.

Dachosenevil are losing the court cases on infringement s on our Constitutional Rights esp on the Right to bear Arms. Killing our children is how they're going to ban firearms with their misfit army of mass killers. They're evil and want to disarm us. So they kill our children.

This angers my soul

LuckyovLegends Notice it’s not getting to coverage it should? Wonder why

This is so normal is America- kids who don’t even hit double digit age get to experience trauma and lose friends to shooting massacre in their schools!

This is the same country that expects “THESE” kids in these situations to nonchalantly move in knowing they won’t ban guns, just build bulletproof barricade. Basically acknowledge the fact that it’ll happen again. 👌🏽

thoughts & prayers, BTW, can I set it as automatic reply every time the mass shooting happens? --from a caring, pro-life conservative.

Sad

Why are schools the target?

So sad 😞

He him transgender shoots up a Christian school NashvilleCovenantSchool

Heftig ,verschrikkelijk gewoon heb geen woorden hiervoor ,om onschuldige dierbare kinderen vooral en de Leraaren 😢Wens nabestaanden heel veel sterkte toe 🙏🏼😔Waar dan ook DIT MAG NIET MEER GEBEUREN .AFSCHAFFEN DIE HANDEL VAN GEBRUIK WAPENS BIJ GEZINNEN OF PARTICULIEREN 😠

Just a reminder, there have been zero shootings at NRA conventions and Trump rallies.

So a transgender did the killing! 🤔. But mental health had nothing to do with it. Only guns!

This must end. Children are being massacred for the GOP'S benefit of getting reelected GunReformNow

Transgender violence targeted against the Christian community should be condemned by all Americans on all sides of the aisle. Anything less is nothing short of blatant bigotry.

Pity these little children. Three children and three adults died; their families and the rest of kids will have their lives irreversibly changed.

Where was the trans shooter?

The killer and future killers have great role models!

💔💔💔

Poor little things, how terrifying for them

little kids should not learn shooter drills before their ABCs!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Proud to be an American 🎶

Sad 😢

All of them will need therapy. All of them.

gop GregAbbott_TX GovAbbott

*The sounds of children screaming have been removed.

Wonder how this cray cray woman entered the school? She couldn't have just walked in!

BmoreProgressiv Gives me chills. I find it hard to process my feelings so I can't fathom what its like to them. 💔

Same line; tinier bodies. What’s it going to take to stop sanctioning the slaughter of our children NRA GOP everytownforgunsafety

Sandy Hook was actually the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. That shit was terrible.

NO THERES A DRAG QUEEN OVER THERE! KIDS GO BACK TO THE SCHOOL IT'S SAFER THERE!!!

I vaguely remember congressman criticize tiktok for promoting violence thru kids challenge. News media has been capitalizing on the child violence biz for decades. Our Gov't sure has a funny way in keeping y'all in business.

Ban the AR-15.

Have they considered more guns? But like. MORE more. Not the more from before. ArmTheChildren It's the only way.

This is heartbreaking.

Pool little ones should never have to deal with this stuff.

These kids are going to be so traumatized BanAssaultWeapons

Never believe a Republican who says they care about kids! GovBillLee MarshaBlackburn

🇺🇸 h/t CitizenCohn , somewhere_in_tx

katiecouric Jeesuschrist...those are babies!!!

Thank god that state is very well protected from those evil drag queens representing a danger to children 🥴

These tiny kids… what are we doing? 😢😢 How can we live with ourselves after innocent children are being killed over and over again? What kind of “freedom” is this?

PeterAlexander Traumatized for life. Dreams are broken. Great job GOPDomesticTerrorists!

Until Republicans value these babies more than assault rifles nothing will change.

Its very simple actually. Hardcore 2nd A supporters would rather have children killed, rather than give up the assault weapons. I support 2nd A, but lets stop being ridiculous about this. Another shooting! When its one of your kids or their friends, then you will support a ban?

That's just pitiful to watch.

PeterAlexander Look at how little they are the image should bring tears to everyone’s eyes and we as a country will do nothing to protect these young children.

Gun control AND mental health need to be this nation's top priorities right now.

I’m sick to my stomach

Just like GOP wants.. Police having to walk them to safety.. 🤦🏽‍♀️ GOP will say ' we need more guns to save the ones with guns' 😡👹 GOPDomesticTerrorists

F_FAHAD_x 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

💔

This shit is SO SICK! LQQK at these babies, holding their little hands as they walk in line formation. VILE REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT 90% of this country WANTS! gunreformnow 65% WANT ASSAULT WEAPONS BANNED! STOP VOTING FOR THEM Nashville piersmorgan

Our babies. It's so disgusting.

💔💔

NRABloodMoney GOPDeathCult

I pray these kids didn’t see anything truly traumatic today — you know, like a man dressed as a woman singing and dancing. If they saw a classmate killed, well, that’s just the price of freedom.

What kind of society tolerates this?

This is so heartbreaking 💔

😭

Disgusting America

I’ll never understand how can this still happens. Any person seeing that and still thinking it’s ok to allow this to keep happening is already dead inside.

It's the guns

Upon hearing about these upsetting shootings, I am always immediately curious to know about the shooter's relationship with the father, the mental health history of the shooter, the use of, or withdrawal from, SSRI medications, and how the weapon used was obtained.

They must’ve been so scared 😢

Shooter stopped by armed citizen.

Such a gut punch for they children holding hands exiting a school again their classmates dead. No rhyme or reason for this yet another mass shooting. People save your thoughts and prayers it’s a nauseating comment hollow in nature signals nothing in the scheme of things.

Just another day in the good ol’ US of A

totally normal country

A mental health crisis exasperated by an overwhelmingly competitive and greedy capitalist system mixed with absurd easy access to firearms theres you problem

This is heartbreaking

If I could afford it,I would move to a country where both parties care more about their people than groups like the NRA. Assault weapons are not guaranteed by the second amendment. Back then,guns were for hunting game not people. Today, only the military needs assault rifles.

Why are MAGA Republicans so against restricting access to guns that would make it harder for criminals to obtain one. How many more children lives must it take.

They’re just babies 💔

A Heartbreaking scene 💔 Robbed of their innocence forever America, get your $hit together!

Le jour où vous arrêterez de vendre des armes comme des bonbons à n'importe qui ces choses horribles s'arrêteront, c'est incroyable de continuer à vendre des armes aussi facilement...... condoléances aux familles

We continue to ignore this country’s most valuable commodity—our children. After the 89th shooting on school grounds in 2023, can we address mental health, background checks AND assault weapons?

This is totally heartbreaking. Oh, America, what are you doing to the children?

😭

I went to grade school and high school in the 50’s and 60’s. My parents didn’t have to worry about school mass shootings because there wasn’t as many guns and semi automatic rifles. These weapons are the problem.

I’m both heartbroken and incredibly angry watching this. When are we going to DO something to prevent this. We are allowing our babies to live in fear for their lives. Unconscionable.

Children are being escorted police. This world needs to reboot. It's insane that a parent can't send their child off to school and feel confident that they will make it home alive. Prayers don't help. Get rid of the darn guns. So sick of this. Lawmakers, do your jobs, no excuses.

EnoughIsEnough GunViolence What is wrong with these people it makes me sick!!!!!

Traumatized.

Ban books and drag queens, NOT guns. Look at that line of children walking hand in hand. GOP NRA

Again…

The country would be a whole lot safer if Responsible Gun Owners stopped shooting kids.

I don't even have the words......yet again and again and again and again and again and again.

This is heart breaking.

Oh look. Another one… bUt Ma FrEeDuM

NOTICE: Media coverage of the Nashville shooting will be 'updated' as the shooter's color, gender, and political beliefs are determined.

God these are babies

Permanent lifelong damage being created here with all those little ones. So sad

This doesn't have to keep happening. Poor babies. We are failing them.

Our country is seriously messed up right now

Absolutely NO GUN laws will stop this as criminals do not abide by laws, you want to stop this then allow the staff that's qualified to carry. Only new law should give immunity to a justified shooting.

tennesse republicans think drag queens are the real danger to children & not the number 1 cause of death…guns.

They’re so small. Tiny. Holding hands just like they were taught during their quarterly active shooter training. Fucking hell.

why is this considered normal in the US? we NEED to address the gun problem. 💔

Isn’t that a gun-free zone? Why would anyone go in with a gun? It’s against “the law”.

In America they love firearms that kill!

This is just heartbreaking.

Awful 😔 RIP those poor babies 💐

BABIES! Civilization at its purest, ducking for cover.

I guess there isn't any number of children slaughtered by guns for the GOP to change their minds about meaningful rational gun legislation and massive investments in mental health! Wonderful society! Canada has had 11 school shootings...EVER!!!!

OMG when is this going to stop. Another assault weapon used. Our government needs to do something. Forcing women to bring children into this world but not caring what happens to them after birth. laurenboebert mtgreenee their republican cohorts including NRA need to care. RIP

Innocent children being slaughtered, just another breaking news filler, nothing will change! By tomorrow it’s back to bitching about eggs and gas. Depressing AF

GovBillLee prioritized banning DragQueens from teens over restricting assault rifles from teens. Three children, three adults dead. Until GOPSenate and GOPHouse do something about restricting access to assault weapons, these needless deaths are on you.

MarshaBlackburn

Tennessee's children are dying on the highway, too.

This is a tough watch ngl

Bless their sweet little innocent souls. 💔🙏🏾

Thank the GOP for making our schools “safer” with reasonable gun laws. The disgusting party that continues to ignore mass shootings that kill our kids and grandkids.

These poor babies. No words.

Killing little kids who can’t even cross the street without holding hands cannot be explained by mental illness. This is pure evil. GUN LAWS MUST CHANGE! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

those poor children will be traumatized for life

Where is RepMTG , or tedcruz, laurenboebert or all of the Republicans?! Another example that these people are the real enemy in America 🇺🇸! Kids are dying and the only thing they do is to promote more death in our country by promoting the sell of guns.

My God, isn't that an absolute scandal. 😡😭

gop NRA hey, fuckers, we need more guns. You enjoy dead children, don’t you, murders.

This hurts my soul

Heartbreaking!!

When will the highest debtor shun the gun ?

Release the crime scene footage tonight in prime time nation wide. People need to see the carnage of every shooting. Things will change in a hurry.

They must be traumatized😭

This traumatic This is terror

From changing sex of kids to shooting them in school, What kind of a society is this?

This kind of stuff doesn’t happen in other civilised countries.

Texas police should learn a few things

Ok bless the dead, next!🙃

that hurts.
