School buses with children arrive at Woodmont Baptist Church to be reunited with their families after a mass shooting at The Covenant School on March 27 in Nashville, Tennessee.
They said officers were on the scene within about 15 minutes of receiving the first emergency call, engaging the shooter who returned fire before being shot dead. Avery Myrick said her mother, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Covenant, hid as shots rang out through the school. President Joe Biden described the latest shooting as"sick" and said gun violence was tearing the nation's"soul," as he urged Congress to pass a ban on the assault weapons commonly used in mass shootings.
"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." There have been 129 mass shootings—defined as incidents in which four or more people were shot or killed—so far this year, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive.
