At least three children and three adults were killed after a school shooting 10:30am (local time) on Monday.
The shooting occurred at Covenant School, a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, which teaches pre-k through 6th grade.
The shooter, a 28-year-old Nashville woman armed with two assault-type weapons and a handgun, was killed during gunfire with police. Her motive for the killing is yet to be confirmed.
Police say that the suspect entered the school through a side door and opened fire on the second floor. The victims were rushed to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital.
