On Monday night, The Covenant School released a statement asking for privacy as the school community begins the process of healing.
Some of the youngest students at The Covenant School in Nashville huddled together in a closet Monday as a shooter who killed six people in the school building tried to break into their classroom.
“She said she was hiding in a closet and that there was shooting all over and that [the shooter] had potentially tried to get into her room,” Avery MyrickMyrick’s mother has worked at the school for nearly a decade. The shooter has been identified as a former student, 28-year-old Audrey Hale. It’s unclear how long ago Hale was a student at the school or for what amount of time, police said.
“Even though I was hearing from her, we didn’t really know if she was safe,” Myrick added. “But just getting that initial phone call that she was OK, it obviously brings a ton of relief but you know, you’re still hurting for the people out there that might not get that call.”
