Bodycam Video Captures Moment When Cops Took Down US School Shooter
The heavily armed attacker at US school, who killed six including three children came with a careful planning to attack the private elementary school, before being shot by the police.
The Nashville Police Department has released unnerving footage from body camera suits of two police officers who follow the chase and shooting down of the Covenant school shooter, Audrey Hale who took the lives of six people, including three children.
The first footage starts with a police officer marching towards the school building while a woman could be heard telling the police officer apparently about children missing after the incident.
“The kids are locked down but we have two kids that we don't know where they are,” the woman could be heard saying in the video.
“Yes ma’am,” the officer replies.
The cop enters the school building, with alarms blaring through the halls, and starts by searching every room one after the other.
At around three minutes, gunshots could be heard in the video with one officer shouting “stop moving, keep your hand away from the gun." A second footage shows the same officer spotting the shooter and being the first one to pull the trigger against Hale.
"Suspect down," he says. The shooter is shot dead.

The heavily armed attacker at Nashville school, a former student, who killed six including three children came with a careful planning to attack the private elementary school, before being shot by the police.
According to Chief of Police, John Drake, the suspect was likely plotting a bigger attack as the manifesto “indicates that there was going to be shootings at multiple locations, and the school was one of them."
Hale entered the Covenant School, a Christian academy, with at least two assault rifles and a handgun from a side entrance and allegedly shot through a door, firing multiple shots while advancing through the building, as per the police.
President Joe Biden described the shootings as “sick” and said gun violence was tearing the nation's "soul," as he urged Congress to pass a ban on the assault weapons often used in mass shootings.
"It's ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation," he said.
