At least three children are dead after gunfire erupted at a Tennessee Christian school on Monday, officials said, adding the gunman was killed by police.
The shooting unfolded at The Covenant School on Burton Hills Boulevard in Nashville where officers “engaged” the attacker, police said.
Nashville firefighters first reported their personnel were responding to an “active aggressor” at 10:39 a.m. CT.
Three “pediatric patients were transported to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, all having suffered gunshot wounds,” Vanderbilt University Medical Center spokesperson John Howser said. “All three were pronounced dead after arrival.”
The names and ages of the victims and the gunman have not been released.
