A woman working at an office building across the street from a mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school described seeing police cars speeding to the scene Monday morning.
Jozen Reodica told CNN she feared the worst after seeing cruisers pouring into the parking lot of the Covenant School, where a female shooter slaughtered three children and three adults before being shot down by cops.
“It all happened so fast,” she told the outlet, noting police quickly cordoned off streets in the area near the elementary school as word of the atrocity began to spread.
