So, How Many Folks Kicked the Bucket in the Nashville School Shooting? Ugh, Don't Even Get Us Started
Look, nobody wants to relive that dark day in Nashville. Six people were tragically killed in that awful school shooting, and our hearts go out to everyone affected by this senseless act of violence.
Here's the heartbreaking breakdown:
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
- Three innocent children, way too young to be caught in such a mess. Their names were Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs, all just nine years old.
- Three dedicated school staff members also lost their lives. Cynthia Peak, a substitute teacher who probably knew every multiplication table by heart. Mike Hill, the custodian, the guy who always seemed to have a smile and a mop at the ready. And Katherine Koonce, the head of the school, who likely worked tirelessly to keep that place running smoothly.
This is some seriously heavy stuff, and we don't want to dwell on it. But it's important to remember these victims.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.

- Play dead: This might work for a zombie apocalypse, but an active shooter is looking for the living, not the dramatically deceased. Get those running shoes on!
- Try to reason with the shooter: Unless your superpower is Jedi mind tricks, this is a bad idea.
- Whip out your phone and film it: We get it, you want to go viral, but this ain't the time. Help people escape or call for help!
