Three Students, Three Adults, Female Suspect Dead in Nashville School Shooting

A heavily armed woman shot and killed three children and three adults in a private Christian school in Nashville.

Responding officers shot and killed the suspect in less than 15 minutes after they got the call, according to CNN.

She entered The Covenant School through a side entrance and made her way to the second floor opening fire as she made her way up the stairs, officials said at a press conference.

Police said it's unusual for the shooter to be a woman in her 20s. 

Anxious parents raced to the school to find their children. A reunification area had been established in a nearby church.

President Joe Biden sent his condolences to the families and Nashville community.

Speaking from the White House, he thanked first responders for their fast response.

Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said it seems the victim may have attended the school in the past. 

The victims have been identified and families have been notified. No names have been released. 

More information will be forthcoming.
