CNN  

CNN — Another American community is reeling after a shooter killed three 9-year-olds and three adults at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville. “Our community is heartbroken,” The Covenant School, a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church, said in a statement, expressing thanks to first responders for their quick response and those showing support for the school. “She just had this ability, that God gave her I believe, to see into the heart and the soul and the story of the student, the person she was with.” When Chapman and his wife first heard Monday’s attack was happening, “we knew Katherine was there, we knew she was the head of the school, and my wife even said … ‘I know her well enough to know that she was probably doing everything she could to change this story, to stop this thing from happening, to talk to this person, whatever she could do,’” he said. “Cindy and Maria and Katherine Koonce were all teachers at the same school and have been family friends for decades,” Lee said Tuesday in a video message. “We love the Scruggs family and mourn with them over their precious daughter Hallie,” the Texas congregation’s Senior Pastor Mark Davis said.
