"Officials responded to a shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, with multiple victims confirmed, the local fire department said on Monday.

"We are responding to an active aggressor at 33 Burton Hills Blvd Covenant School. We can confirm we have multiple patients," the Nashville Fire Department said on Twitter.

ALL mitigations should be happening at the same time.

The grim conclusion is that in 2023, with AI and cars and computers and spaceships, we still tolerate human sacrifice.

2 shotguns, a .22 rifle, and a .30-.30 in a heart beat if it would put an end to this 2nd amendment madness.

They must have not talked to gods enough, or to the right ones.

Since it was a Christian school, they don't believe in most of the gods.

2nd amendment...and checking your bank account..get the GD ar15s, ak47s off our streets..check backgrounds..and create a RED Alert..evaluate mental health of anyone with gun, or who wants a gun..48 hr wait period..
