The swift and organized police response to the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday was roundly lauded by local officials and credited with preventing additional carnage and casualties.
A six-minute body camera video released Tuesday showed officers weaving through classrooms and corridors before approaching and neutralizing the shooter, who by then had shot and killed six people, including three students.
„They trained for that. And this moment happened and they didn’t hesitate at all,“ Metro Nashville Chief of Police John Drake said Tuesday on „Good Morning America.“
He added, „They responded, immediately went inside, knew the danger that was going on. Shots were being fired at the police cars. That did not deter them. They went anyway inside.“MORE: What we know about Tennessee’s gun laws after Nashville shooting
