You Heard a Bang? A Guide to Not-So-Famous Nashville Landmarks (Besides the Grand Ole Opry)
Let's face it, Nashville's known for hot chicken, country music, and bachelorette parties that would make even Kenny Chesney blush. But there's also a not-so-honky-tonk side to Music City, and unfortunately, that includes a terrible tragedy.
What School Got Shot Up In Nashville |
The School That Shouldn't Have Made Headlines
On a not-so-sunny Monday in March 2023, The Covenant School, a private elementary school in Nashville, became the site of a horrific shooting. This wasn't your average "shootout at the OK Corral" reenactment gone wrong (although, with Nashville's love for cowboy boots, maybe that's not entirely out of the realm of possibility). This was a real-life nightmare that took the lives of six innocent people, including three students.
*Why am I telling you this? Well, because sometimes the internet can be a tricky beast. You might be searching for information about the shooting, and instead, find yourself down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories about catfish and rhinestone-encrusted assault weapons (because apparently, those exist?).
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
So, here's the straight-up, verified info: The Covenant School was the place, and March 27th, 2023 was the not-so-memorable date.
But Wait, There's More (Because Apparently Tragedy Isn't Enough Drama)
The shooter, identified as Aiden Hale (formerly Audrey Elizabeth Hale), was a former student at the school. Motive? Still up in the air, folks. Investigators are still trying to untangle that mess, so unless you have a crystal ball and a psychic hotline on speed dial, we're all waiting for answers.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Important Note: Please be respectful of the victims and their families. This is a sensitive topic, and memes about grits and shootings just aren't cool.
