Nashville police confirm seven dead including shooter after Christian school shooting

When a Nashville mass shooting killed three children and three adults, a gun safety advocate emphasized Tennessee's Republican governor passing open carry legislation. Mothers Demand Action founder Shannon Watts criticized Governor Bill Lee for not issuing a statement after the Covenant Presbyterian School tragedy in Nashville. The suspect was shot and killed by Metro Nashillve Police. Ms. Watts tweeted, "Tennessee @GovBillLee hasn't had time yet to tweet his thoughts and prayers for Covenant School, but when he does, tell him that this is exactly why police and residents opposed the permitless carry policy he signed into law at a gun maker's plant in 2021."
