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.
A longtime pre-K teacher at the private Christian academy said that she and her students took cover in a closet as they heard shots ringing out “all over the school,” her daughter said after the morning massacre.
“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 Myrick told local NBC News affiliate station WSMV that her mom said in a phone call during the shooting.
Myrick’s mother has worked at the school for nearly a decade.
