WE ARE NOW LEARNING THAT THAT FEMALE SHOOTER, AGED 28, ENTERED THE SCHOOL THROUGH A SIDE DOOR BEFORE MAKING HER WAY UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR WHERE SHE BEGAN FIRING. >> John: OFFICERS WERE ON THE SCENE WITHIN MOMENTS OF THE CALL COMING IN, IT WAS A FIVE-MEMBER TEAM. THEY WERE CLEARING THE FIRST
FLOOR WHEN THEY HEARD SHOTS COMING FROM THE SECOND FLOOR. THEY PROCEEDED UP THE STAIRS TOWARD THE DANGER INTO THE FACE OF THE GUNFIRE, TWO OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FIVE-MEMBER TEAM ENGAGED WITH THE SHOOTER, SHOT AND KILLED HER JUST BEFORE 10:30 THIS MORNING. THE SHOOTER WAS ARMED ACCORDING TO POLICE WITH TWO ASSAULT-STYLE
RIFLES, AND A HANDGUN. OFFICIALS REVIEWING SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM THE CAMERAS INSIDE THE SCHOOL. >> Sandra: A GUT WRENCHING SCENE THIS HOUR. PARENTS ARE STILL THERE TRYING TO GATHER THEIR CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A REUNIFICATION POINT AT THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL. THEY ARE WAITING FOR ANY UPDATES.
WE ARE WAITING ON ANY FURTHER UPDATES ABOUT ALL THOSE PARENTS EVENTUALLY GETTING REUNITED WITH THEIR CHILDREN. JONATHAN SERRIE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS FOR US. JONATHAN, JUST — JUST MAKES YOUR HEART HURT WHEN YOU SEE THOSE LITTLE KIDS HOLDING HANDS, BEING WALKED TO A SCHOOL BUS, LOADED ON TO THEN BE DRIVEN TO A
REUNIFICATION POINT WITH THEIR PARENTS. MANY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WHAT DO WE KNOW NOW, JONATHAN? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING. NOT THE SETTING YOU EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN AND THE PLAYERS ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD ORDINARILY EXPECT. WE HAVE SOME — THEY ARE CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS ACCORDING
TO THE FBI, ACTIVE SHOOTING INCIDENTS BETWEEN 2000 AND 2019. 3.7% OF ALL ACTIVE SHOOTERS WERE FEMALE. ALSO IT IS INCREDIBLY RARE FOR A SHOOTING LIKE THIS TO TAKE PLACE AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL. ONLY 6% OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS OCCUR IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS, 94% OCCUR IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THAT ACCORDING TO THE KATO INSTITUTE.
SO, JUST HEARTBREAKING. ALSO WE ARE GETTING SOME MORE DETAILS FROM THE METRO NASHVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT RELEASING SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THEY NOW BELIEVE IS A 28-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTING. ORIGINALLY OFFICERS RESPONDING BELIEVED SHE APPEARED TO BE A TEENAGER, BUT NOW APPARENTLY A LITTLE BIT OLDER. 28 YEARS OLD.
A NASHVILLE RESIDENT. THERE WERE MULTIPLE OFFICERS WHO WENT INTO THAT BUILDING RESPONDING TO THE GUNFIRE, BUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS TWO OFFICERS IN PARTICULAR WHO ENTERED THE BUILDING GOING TO THE SOUNDS OF THE GUNFIRE ACTUALLY ENGAGED THE SHOOTER ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND THOSE TWO OFFICERS FATALLY SHOT HER.
SO, WE ARE GRADUALLY GETTING MORE INFORMATION, WE EXPECT A NEWS CONFERENCE A LITTLE BIT LATER TODAY. POLICE STILL WORKING ON A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SHOOTER WHO IS DEAD, ALSO A TOTAL OF SIX VICTIMS OF THE SHOOTER DEAD. THREE OF THEM CHILDREN, THREE OF THEM ADULTS, ALL OF THE ADULTS
WERE STAFF MEMBERS, TWO OF THEM TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL AND A THIRD STAFF MEMBER PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE.
