Another mass shooting – where else but in the US of A!
A gunman opened fire at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday, killing three children and three adults, authorities said.
The suspect, a Nashville resident police say was once a student at the private Christian school for preschool through 6th grade, in the city's Green Hills neighborhood, was killed during gunfire with police.
The shooter said to be a 28-year-old woman, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who identified as transgender, had drawn detailed maps of the school and written a manifesto, which is being studied by local and federal investigators.
Police said Hale got in by firing through one of the school doors, which were all locked. She was armed with two assault weapons and a handgun.
The Covenant School incident is America’s 129th such mass shooting – an incident during which four or more people are shot, as defined by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit that tracks gun violence data – since the beginning of 2023.
And according to data compiled by Education Week, there have been 12 school shootings that have resulted in deaths or injuries in the US this year up until the end of last week. And it’s only March!
Haven’t I been saying that America is a sick country?!
