On Thursday, authorities released 911 recordings that capture the terror inside a Nashville elementary school during a mass shooting earlier this week. In the recordings, callers can be heard pleading for help in hushed voices, while sirens, crying, and gunfire can be heard in the background.
The shooting occurred on Monday morning, when 28-year-old Audrey Hale opened fire at The Covenant School, killing six people before being fatally shot by responding police officers. Although a motive in the shooting remains under investigation, police have referred to Hale as a “female shooter,” and at a news conference added that Hale was transgender.
Hours after the incident, the now-former press secretary to Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Josselyn Berry, tweeted: “Us when we find out the Nashville shooter was transphobic.” In response to the tweet, Governor Hobbs’ office confirmed Thursday that Berry has since resigned.
The recordings released Thursday include a call from 76-year-old retired church member Tom Pulliam, who tells the dispatcher he is with a group of people, including several children, who are walking away from the Christian school toward a main road.
The Covenant School shooting has left the community in shock and mourning. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and authorities are still working to determine the motive behind the attack.
