A former police officer who provided active shooter training at the private Christian school that was the site of a mass shooting Monday said the quick-thinking actions of teachers who locked down classrooms helped save lives.
The shooter who got into The Covenant School in Nashville fired multiple rounds into several classrooms but didn't hit any students inside the classrooms, "because the teachers knew exactly what to do, how to fortify their doors and where to place their children in those rooms," security consultant Brink Fidler told CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront.
Monday's attack was the deadliest US school shooting since last May's massacre in Uvalde, Texas, in which 21 people were killed. It marked the 19th shooting at a US school or university in just the past three months that left at least one person wounded, a CNN count shows. "The only victims this shooter was able to get to were victims that were stuck in some sort of open area or hallway," Fidler said. "Several were able to evacuate safely. The ones that couldn't do that safely did exactly what they were taught and trained to do."
Chief Drake could not confirm how Koonce died but said, "I do know she was in the hallway by herself. There was a confrontation, I'm sure. You can tell the way she is lying in the hallway." "I received a very, very weird message from a friend on Instagram. I think it was like a suicidal thing," Patton told the dispatcher in a recording that began at 10:21 a.m. -- minutes after the attack had already begun.
Hale's messages were sent at 9:57 a.m., and police say the first 911 call from the school about an active shooter was made at 10:13 a.m. Officers arrived on scene at 10:24 a.m. and fatally shot the attacker three minutes later, police said. " posted so often to the point I started noticing it. It must have been their best friend," said the classmate, who asked only to be identified by his first name Cody.
Cody thought Hale had "a weird child-like obsession with staying a child." He said that Hale was reserved and serious about artwork, which teachers lauded. In the wake of the shooting, President Joe Biden and other Democratic politicians pushed for lawmakers to enact stricter limits on guns and assault-style rifles, but Republicans showed little interest in pursuing the issue.
After the shooting, police found that Hale had detailed maps of The Covenant School -- which the shooter had attended as a child -- and "quite a bit" of writings related to the shooting, according to the police chief.
