Nashville has released several 911 calls made during the shooting at The Covenant School. The phone calls captured the anxious moments as the violence, which resulted in the deaths of six people, unfolded.
Several of the 911 calls have been made in whispers or low tones, with the callers claiming to be besieged in rooms and hearing over a dozen gunshots, per CNN. The calls indicate the victims' fear and perplexity, which fill their hushed words in the first minutes of the slaughter.
In one of the Nashville Shooting 911 calls, a teacher conveys that she and her 17 students are OK. The dispatcher warns her to be armed and ready to confront the Nashville Shooting attacker.
"Stay where you're at, and don't come out until the police come unless you need to flee or fight, OK?" the dispatcher remarked.
In another 911 call, a man claims that although the door to his workplace is shut, he has heard roughly 20 gunshots. He said he was alone at the workplace and the lights were out as the shooting happens.
"I saw one person run out... And I heard the fire alarms going off. Oh my God. I'm afraid I'm going to die."
"Please send someone soon," a female substitute teacher pleads in one of the released Nashville Shooting 911 calls.
