WATCH: Metro Nashville Police Release Bodycam Footage Of Hero Cops Taking Down Covenant School Shooter
Nashville Police were singularly focused and took out the threat within minutes of arriving at the scene.
The Metro-Nashville Police Department released the bodycam footage of the moment officers entered The Covenant Presbyterian School on Monday morning and took down the female active shooter. Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter who identified as a man, had managed to kill 3 students and 3 staff members before police arrived.
ClashDaily reported on the breaking story here:
Surveillance video was released of Hale driving onto the church property, shooting through the doors of the school and wandering through the halls.
During her rampage, Hale shot and killed 3 students, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all of whom were 9 years old, a 61-year-old custodian, Mike Hill, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, also 61, and head of the school, Katherine Koonce, 60.
Hale opened fire in The Covenant School, a small, church-run private elementary school on the outskirts of the city, shortly before 10.13am.
She was armed with two rifles and a handgun, and had planned the killing meticulously. By 10.27am, she was dead, having been struck down by Officers Rex Englebert and Michael Collazo.
The footage shows how the officers strategically checked classrooms looking for the shooter before finding her on a second floor atrium, firing in their direction as part of her suicide-by-cop plan.
She was no match for Officer Englebert, a 27-year-old, four-year veteran of the force who struck her down immediately with four shots from his semi-automatic weapon.
Officer Collazo, a nine-year veteran of the force, approached with a handgun next, firing another four shots while Hale flailed on the ground, before approaching her body and stripping it of weapons.
