Six people were killed, including three children, when a 28-year-old woman opened fire at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States.

According to police, multiple injuries were also reported in the shooting incident.

According to Don Aaron, a spokesperson for the Nashville Police Department, the shooter entered the school through a side entrance on Monday morning and went to the second floor, firing multiple shots.

Three members of staff were among the shooter’s victims, according to Aaron, before police fatally shot her.

“Police received call of an active shooter at 10:13 a.m,” Aaron said.

“Officers responded swiftly, entered the first floor, and began clearing the area. They immediately went to the gunfire.

“Two of the five officers on the floor opened fire on the shooter and killed her by 10:27 a.m. She was in a lobby-type area.”

According to a police spokesperson, the shooter was armed with two assault rifles and a handgun.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee expressed his condolences and said he was keeping a close eye on the situation.
