The shooter entered the school just after 10 a.m. through a side door, began shooting on the first floor, and then moved to the second. The first call to the police came at 10:13 a.m. Five police officers confronted the shooter on the second floor, and two opened fire, killing them at 10:27 a.m.

"It sounds like it's upstairs," an officer says as they ascend the steps to the sound of gunfire above. The video ends with the confrontation in an upstairs lobby area, when several shots were fired at the attacker, who went down, amid shouts of "stop moving," "suspect down," and "get your hand away from the gun."

    1. What’s that going to do? The worst that can ever happen to those parents already happened. It’s too late. How about you americans start fixing the problem instead of all this praying, so it doesn’t continue to happen.

    2. Good job praying! I just got word that one of the victims came back to life 5 minutes ago!

    3. @TobyDK91 praying does absolutely help. God makes All things possible. God is love, and Jesus is King! God bless you!

    1. @The Omega Man they had their lives taken away from them. They had futures, they had bdays, Christmas, Easter, etc.
      What’s wrong with what I wrote? Am I lying? Maybe I didn’t write it correctly for you. It was senseless for their lives to end that way.

  1. As sadly this could have been a lot worse. I am concerned about our country’s mental status. We have to go back and reexamine what are guns really for. We just make it to easy.

  2. Just like Cruz said in Texas, HE WALKED IN. The problem is DOORS! Removing and blocking entrances and exits will save lives! Ted Cruz ROCKS! ❤

  3. These poor children and staff must have been terrified. And the fact that this shooter decided to go shoot up a school and didn’t ask themselves “what the h3ll am I doing” my heart goes put to all.of the families that lost thier family members

  4. Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

  5. please pray for the family members of the children and adults whos lives were take yesterday in Nashville. Obviously it was a total tragedy that these babies lives were taken. Now as a person who doesnt really watch videos like these. my brother is 9 years old and as obvious as it seems this person that did it was a bad person, its sad to see what america has come to, the government cares more about passing a bill to ban tiktok, than gun control and protecting innocent lives. I have personally never been under lockdown for a school shooting, but the tragedy that happened yesterday broke millions. And as a person whos extremely empathetic towards everyone, my heart goes out to you. May God help our planet, because its become a dangerous place for kids to safely learn. Stay strong america. I love you ❤. Lesson to be taught keep your hands off of kids. I wanted to take a moment to thank the Metro Police in Nashville for stepping in to protect the children and adults that survived the tragedy.

  6. This is why active shooter training is so critical! These officers were efficient,safe, and deadly when they were clearing the school. Communication was on point and the neutralized the threat quickly!

  7. How effective was the assault weapons ban?

    “Part of the problem is that the assault weapons ban existed for only 10 years, and there are relatively few mass shootings per year, making it difficult to fully assess its impact. Adding to the complexity, researchers use different definitions for a “mass shooting,”…

    From:

    Biden’s claim that the 1994 assault-weapons law ‘brought down’ mass shootings

    Washington Post

  8. The Police did a good job, the guy didn’t have plans of coming out of there alive though, also good school training, condolences to all the families ❤

    1. ​@The Omega Man why are the shoes different from the shoes she had on when the police killed her?

    2. @Moor Darkness2 you know I was commenting to someone the police video and the shooter looks like they were filmed different days . Lol

  9. This is unbelievable. My deepest condolences to the families. We never think it can happen to us until it’s us. I work at a NYC Public school and our security guards don’t have weapons. The police barely responds. I had multiple incidents were parents were fighting in the school buildings and police would call hours later, not even show up. Shooting happens in the neighborhood frequently. We are directly across the street from major public housing projects.. We’ve had multiple shut ins where I can go home for hours. . I live in Long Island but I spend majority of my time in the hood. It’s a miracle getting home every day. I am bless. I’m sorry people who can target innocent people like this exist. 😔

  10. Follow up. Find out exactly how the emotionally disturbed shooter obtained each gun, assault weapon. Trace the stores and find out how she/he got them. Investigate the parents.

  11. Did anyone notice the videos showing she had on one pair of shoes before the shooting and then when she was killed she had on a different pair of vans? Did anyone else see this? I’m absolutely not trying to make light of this and I know children were killed and this is absolutely horrific but I did see this so I’m just curious if anyone else did?
