1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to Clay Travis and Buck 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Here in the second hour, and we have 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: tragic news to bring you unfortunately out of the Nashville, 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: Tennessee area. This coming from the Tennessee and that three 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: children have been killed in a school shooting earlier this 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: morning at the Covenant School, which is the private Christians 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: school in Nashville. The suspect was engaged by police and 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: is dead, according to reports. Currently, there are scores of 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: parents and others gathered together in the parking lot of 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: the school who were waiting for updates. There are helicopters 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: in the area. The incident was reported around ten thirty 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: am I think Tennessee time, so eleven thirty am Eastern 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: time was the first time of the reports of this 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: and parents are currently reuniting for their kids. But obviously 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: we have three fatalities and a community that has been 17 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: just devastated by this. Clay, this is right in your area. 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: You have kids in private school in Nashville, not at 19 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: this school. Yeah, well, Buck, I mean this is this 20 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: is brutal for a lot of parents out there. The 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: worst possible thing you could imagine. I've got kids at 22 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: three different schools, one private school to public school, not 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: this school, and I can only imagine what those parents 24 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: are going through as they are waiting to hear more details. 25 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: And we've kind of waited because this is literally just 26 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: down the road from me, not far from where I live. 27 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Green Hills is a sort of suburb just outside of Nashville. 28 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: This is a religious school, small kindergarten through sixth grade. 29 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: We don't know the ages of these kids. Vanderbilt Medical 30 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: Center is reported that three kids are dead. We don't 31 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: know who the shooter was, other than what you just referenced, 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: which is Metro Nashville police arrived on the scene and 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: confronted the gunman. We don't know what might have been 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: occurring here, why the gunman was there, what connection, if any, 35 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: he had to the school. All we know is this 36 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: is a small religious school and there are a lot 37 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: of parents panicked all over my city of Nashville right 38 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: now as they try to figure out what exactly went on, 39 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and at least three kids are dead as well as 40 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: the shooter. Now, on this show, we try not to 41 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: share the names of shooters in these mass shooting incidents 42 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: because overwhelmingly the data reflects that helps to encourage more 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: than to occur. But we do want to always point 44 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: out that police are responding on the scene what exactly 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: happened at ten thirty Central time this morning eleven thirty 46 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: East Coast time. Will continue to update you as more 47 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: of these details continue to materialize. But but hopefully the 48 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: police were able to arrive and do and protect as 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: many people as possible and UH and certainly the fact 50 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: that this occurred at all is is awful. And again 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: it's an elementary school, and we have not heard who 52 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: u the shooter is, or what his or her motivations 53 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: might have been in this situation, or who these kids are. 54 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: So I'm sure those details will be coming out. But 55 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: as you know a parent who's got kids in three 56 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: different schools, this is every parent's worst nightmare. And frankly, 57 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, we talked was it last year about the 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Uvalde situation where they allowed that shooter to sit in 59 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: that classroom for hours and hours. It does not appear 60 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: and again every situation is different, but it does not 61 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: appear that the responding officers from Nashville UH did anything 62 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: other than move quickly, now, Buck, you know you know this, well, 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: sometimes these shooters they have targets and then they kill themselves, right, 64 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're hoping to get killed by the police. Certainly, 65 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: anyone who goes into a school for any reason to 66 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: commit an act of violence is a profoundly evil human 67 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: being and or oftentimes very mentally disturbed. So I do 68 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 1: think that happening here. I do think that that part 69 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: of them in the long term. You know, aftermath of 70 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: of Uvalde, from a law enforcement perspective, uh, there there 71 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: was such a revulsion across the country at their response 72 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: of law enforcement officers there that I just think, look there, 73 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: you can't. Law enforcement across the country was paying very 74 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: close attention, I think to what happened there and how 75 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: those failures occurred. And it's I'm sure when they do 76 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: active shooter training and a lot of departments large and small, 77 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: and whether they explicitly address this or not, in the 78 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: ba of the mind of every man and woman who's 79 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: going through that training is if this kind of thing 80 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: ever comes up, I'm going through that door or come 81 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: what may. And I do think that that because in 82 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: testimony that he said, well, that individual had effectively a 83 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: really scary looking or scary firearm, and so we just 84 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. So really telling everybody that an uval day. 85 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: They decided that they even though they had a stack 86 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: of people outside, they had long guns the police meaning 87 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: the police, and they had a ballistic at least one 88 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: ballistic shield. There there was an active decision made. It 89 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: wasn't confusion. There was a decision made by those officers 90 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: We're going to sit and wait, and we all know 91 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: that resulted in more casualties of defenseless children. It seems, 92 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: and this is very early stage, but it seems in 93 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: this case, based on the figures, the numbers and the time, 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, the timeline that we've seen so far, and 95 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: the number of casualties that have been involved, that the 96 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: officer response was fast and that there was at least 97 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: a confrontation. That's often all. That's often all that it 98 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: takes for one of these incidents, a the good guy 99 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: or you know, a good man or good woman with 100 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: a gun to arrive on scene, and the shooter will 101 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: whether it is engaged by those you know, by the 102 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: good guy, or takes his own life, obviously the threat 103 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: is over. So this was it seems that there was 104 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: a rapid response here from law enforcement, which likely saved 105 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: lives in this circumstance. And what we don't know two 106 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: Buck is did this school have a school Research resource 107 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: officer right on site? Private schools make different decisions about security. 108 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: I know the elementary school in my neighborhood where my 109 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: second grader goes, we have an off armed security guard 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: that is there all the time, and different school districts 111 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: make different decisions. There was not a confrontation before that shooter, 112 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: and Uvalde was able to get inside the school. Buck, 113 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: We also don't know the shooting occurred at ten thirty. 114 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: We also don't know did the shooter enter the school 115 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: because a lot of these schools have outdoor playgrounds for instance, 116 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: was it something that occurred outside of the physical facility 117 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: of the school. Again, a lot of details still to come. 118 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: But if you are, if you're turning on your television 119 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: right now, it's obviously the lead story all over the country, 120 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: and it's here in my backyard, and it's awful and 121 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: it's terrifying, and every parent in the back of their mind, 122 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: their worst nightmare is that something like this might happen 123 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: when their kids are away at school. And again I've 124 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: got three school aids kids at three different schools in 125 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: the Nashville area, so I can particularly empathize with how 126 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: awful this situation is for any of those Nashville parents 127 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: as they wait to hear what happened to their kids 128 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: and who this person was and what the motivation was. 129 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: If you're if you're just joining us just by way 130 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: of keeping everybody informed. Here, we're talking about this shooting 131 00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: that happened at a Nashville area private school of this 132 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: morning about mid morning. There are three children who have 133 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: been pronounced dead. Why they're taking the hospital. They were 134 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: killed by the shooter and the shooter is also dead. 135 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: We do not have more information about this at this time. 136 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: Will updated and as it comes along through during the show. 137 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: And you know, Clay, I just also I feel you 138 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: know you're there, You're in the community, and so this 139 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: is very close in every sense to you, right emotionally, psychologically, close, 140 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: and proximity wise. This is not I've lived in this community, 141 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Green Hills. So in my time living in Nashville, I've 142 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: lived right here in the bins, and evil strikes and 143 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: takes the lives of completely innocent children. That you know, 144 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: the the national response to this will mirror what I'm 145 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: sure will be the local response, which is coming together, healing, prayer, 146 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: people trying to do what they can in this moment 147 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: of devastation for the community to support those and certainly 148 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: to support the families first and foremost and those who 149 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: are who are close to this. And it's just always 150 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: unfortunate that after, you know, in the immediate aftermath. Now 151 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: it feels like the politicization of these things depending on 152 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: the circumstances that we don't even know, but it moves, 153 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: it moves in a way that's so fast and so 154 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: so opportunistic that I mean, I do think it shows 155 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: disrespect to the community and to the families. Often, you 156 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: know that you'll have and I mean this from the 157 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: very top. You'll have top politicians and people in the media, 158 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: and they'll immediately start to push an agenda, and they'll 159 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: do it not even within twenty four hours, they'll do 160 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: it within hours, even minutes perhaps of the incident. So 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that that won't be what we see here. 162 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that you know, this isn't and this isn't 163 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden deciding that this is when we need a 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: lecture about politics. It was much better to try to 165 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: heal the country. But I think that's well. We'll see 166 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: how that hope. A couple more details. I'm not sure 167 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: if we're back on in Nashville yet. I think they've 168 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: taken some local programming, but if you are able to 169 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: listen in the Nashville area, Senator Marsha Blackburn just tweeted, 170 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: unless you're a parent or a loved one, please stay 171 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: out of the area of the Covenant School again in 172 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: Green Hills, a part of Nashville, please don't go into 173 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: the active scene. And the Nashville Fire Department says a 174 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,119 Speaker 1: reunification area has been established at twenty one hundred Woodmont Boulevard. 175 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: That's a Baptist church there for parents to meet the 176 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: kids who attend Covenant School in Green Hills. And this 177 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: is one of those awful situations, Buck, I mean, just 178 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: brutal for any parent to think about where you go 179 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: to that reunification area and you may be going there 180 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: thinking I'm going to get to pick my kids up 181 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: and you find out there that will not be true. Yes, 182 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: And so I mean for anybody out and there will 183 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: be other parents you know, possibly there also though maybe 184 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: the law maybe law enforcement has already informed those families 185 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: so they know and they will but you never know, 186 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: depends on how quickly all of this goes, and also 187 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: hopefully that they don't have any more casualties.

Obviously, this 242 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: is my hometown. I have lived in Green Hills for 243 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: part of my life here as a lifelong citizen of 244 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: basically the state of Tennessee and resident of Nashville. So 245 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: This is hitting very close home for me. I also 246 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: have three kids at three different Nashville schools from second 247 00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: grade through ninth grade.

This is Don Aaron, 251 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: who is the Nashville Police spokesperson. You have the shooter 252 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: who was engaged by two of our police officers, part 253 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: of a five member team, and she is deceased. For 254 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: a total of seven individuals. There are no other gunshot 255 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: victims non lethal that I am aware of at present. 256 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Do you know how many people were shot? Do you 257 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: know how many people were shot before the police engaged 258 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: the shooter? Well, they know they shot anyone after they 259 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: engaged the shooter. Do you know the shooter was able 260 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: to shoot anyone else? We do not know who she 261 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: is at this juncture. We're trying to identify her. She 262 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: does appear to be in her teams again with two 263 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: assault type rifles and at least one pistol. Though I'm 264 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: not no this is a church that operates a private school. Uh. 265 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: There was no Metro police personnel assigned to that building 266 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: at any time. Adults, he said two. No, they are 267 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: total of three adults, three adults who have been fatally wounded. No, 268 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: so let me let me go over this again. You 269 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: have a total of six victims. Three students who are 270 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: deceased and three adult staff members from the school who 271 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: are deceased. The shooter herself makes seven adult I do 272 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: not There is video from the school that we are 273 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: viewing now to try to learn exactly how all of 274 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: this happened. I cannot at this juncture. As you know, 275 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: five of these six were transported, so we will get 276 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: that information later in the day. It is an upper 277 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: level part of the school that's kind of a lobby 278 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: type area. It was not in a classroom per se. 279 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: Will continue to monitor this. Just the big, the big 280 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: moment there that I think was a surprise in this 281 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: press conference, a teenaged female shooter. Nobody would have seen 282 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: that one. Commons, hug your kids.

Del Toro 291 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: focused on the promises he made to his family, and 292 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: he became the first fully disabled airmen permitted to re 293 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: enlist and a Goldmell winner at the Invictus Games.

The shooter 303 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: then engaged by police at a private school in the 304 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: Nashville area, the Covenant School. And we know right now 305 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: so we have we have seven total dead six casualties 306 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: from the mass shooter and three children, three adults. This 307 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: is a school that has kindergarten through sixth grade, and 308 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: the detail that is for an incident like this, and 309 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: we've seen tragically school shootings in the past that tend 310 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: to fit a certain patterned of profile of the individuals involved. 311 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: Right now, the major surprise report out of this as 312 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: everyone's still reeling from the shock and the devastation this 313 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: community and the loss of those six families now three 314 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: children's families and three adults. Families finding out in just 315 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: the last the last two hours so about this horrific incident, 316 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: that they lost a loved one to this violence, that 317 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: the shooter is a teenage female. The shooter, according to police, 318 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: had two AAR style rifles and also a pistol. That's 319 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: all been confirmed by law enforcement as of now. It 320 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: is worth noting in these incidents, in these moments where 321 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: you're getting the first reporting from the press, that even 322 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: law enforcement reporting can be subject to updates and changes. 323 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: It did usually that's most important from the perspective of 324 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: additional casualties that could tragically turn into fatalities. It did 325 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: seem based on the press conference though, that there are 326 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: no others children or adults with outstanding gunshot wounds at 327 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: this point, so so essentially there's not no one's fighting 328 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: for their life according to police in the hospital right now, 329 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: So it's unlikely you'll see unless there that report is wrong. 330 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: There will be no additional casualties to this, right because 331 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: we've seen other school shootings. The number and it's just 332 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: a gut punch. Every time it goes up, it goes 333 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: from two, it goes to five, it goes higher. It 334 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: seems that we know for certain now that there were 335 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: six innocence who were killed here by this mass shooter. 336 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: And as I said, everyone is still the whole country 337 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: now is finding out about this, and everyone, I think 338 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: Clay is still processing first the grief, the loss, the senselessness, 339 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: the evil of this, and then also that in the background, 340 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: in the back of our minds the a theme. I 341 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: cannot think of another. This does qualify as a mass shooting, 342 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: the mass school shooting based on how the FBI statistics. 343 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: You know, anything above three, I believe is how the 344 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: FBI does it. I cannot think of another school shooting 345 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: like this where there was a first a female shooter, 346 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: and of never, I can't remember. I don't know. I'd 347 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: have to go back and look at the FBI data 348 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: in the archive if there has ever been a female 349 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: teenage school shooter like this before. Yeah. And let me 350 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: give you a little bit more detail too, as someone 351 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: who lives in Nashville. If you've been to Nashville, twenty 352 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: first Avenue runs through Hillsboro Village. If you keep taking 353 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: twenty first Avenue, which is right White Vanderbilt University, if 354 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: you keep taking twenty first Avenue down, you run right 355 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: into Green Hills. And so in this Green Hills area, 356 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: it's a wealthy Nashville suburb. And this is a private 357 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: religious elementary school, very small. The spokesperson said. There was 358 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: no school resource officer on site. It is a religious school. 359 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: They probably did not think that they needed to have 360 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: a security guard. Again, I'm quoting from what was Don Aaron, 361 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: the Metro spokesperson who's been the Nashville spokesperson for as 362 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: long as I can remember, since I was a kid. 363 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: It feels like growing up in Nashville, this has been 364 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: the guy who shows up and informs the public about incidents. 365 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: Three guns. Three guns. In addition, buck to your point 366 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: about this being a teenage female shooter. Three adults and 367 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: three kids murdered in this school, three guns, meaning this 368 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: is a planned attack. Who is this person? Why did 369 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: they select a small private religious school in Nashville to 370 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: engage in this attack? Right, it's a planned attack. When 371 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: you go in with three weapons, you are attempting to 372 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: create a mass casualty event. The police responded, Buck. As 373 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: we have talked about for some time, I think one 374 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: of the lessons of Uvalde is going to be for 375 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: many different police departments out there. You go full speed, right, 376 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: you don't stop, You engage whoever the killer may be, 377 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: and you put risk a lot of life and limb 378 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: in the back burner. There is a report that one 379 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: police officer had a hand injury, may have been shot 380 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: and as part of the altercation. But that individual was 381 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: shot and killed evidently by responding police officers who may 382 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: well have limited her ability to create even more, anymore, 383 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: even more chaos. I think you could say certain I 384 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: think you could say certainly. I think the law enforcement, 385 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: based on the data we have and the reporting we 386 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: have right now, law enforcement response, I assume this would 387 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: be Nashville. I mean, Clay, you know the area NATRO 388 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: Nashville Police Department. They had to get up to the 389 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: second floor, which is where this shooting went. So these officers, 390 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: let's take a moment here to praise their response to 391 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: go ball sto the wall and go after this shooter. 392 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: Ten thirty Central time, eleven thirty East Coast was when 393 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: this reported shooting happens. I don't think it lasted for 394 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: very long before they were there in responding those officers. 395 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 1: First of all, those officers clearly were engaged by the shooter, 396 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: and the shooter did have a long had two long guns. 397 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: So we were talking about before you know, the disaster 398 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: of Yuval Day across the board, but specifically from the 399 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: law enforcement response component of that here, it seems the 400 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement response was rapid and what we would expect 401 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: and what is representative of the vast majority of our 402 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers across the country, which is they went 403 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: in there to stop the threat and to save lives 404 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: right away. But this is, to your point, a clearly 405 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: a premeditated mass murder, and where we're all just there, 406 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: there is the shock that the community feels, and then 407 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: it reverbed breaks throughout the entire country. I know, the 408 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: whole Nashville area right now is just trying to how 409 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: could you even process something like this happening? And the 410 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: part of this that we're gonna I'm sure hear a 411 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: lot more about, because I cannot. I can't think of 412 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: and unfortunately I've had to cover and you've had to 413 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: cover school shootings in the past, and it's been something 414 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: we've been seeing in this country for a long time. 415 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: I have never even heard of a teenage female school 416 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: shooter like this. And this is again not It wasn't 417 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: the individual's school, so that's another It wasn't a there 418 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: wasn't some dispute with you know, this isn't a gang 419 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: situation or fellow classmates or something at a high school 420 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: where someone comes in and start shooting. This was an attempt, 421 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, a mass assassination, effectively, a mass murder of 422 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: children and adults at a primary school by a teenager 423 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: who you would assume is obviously too old to be 424 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: a student. Perhaps we don't know beyond that, We honestly 425 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: just don't know anything about the individual. But there's there's 426 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a whole lot more that comes out. And 427 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: all I can say right now is Clay. Well, we'll 428 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: continue to watch very closely. Forward and thoughts and prayers 429 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: for all the folks of Nashville and Tennessee. Right now, 430 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: I know this is uh, this is the thing you 431 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: never want to wake up to and see in anyone's hometown, 432 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: certainly your own hometown, no doubt. And UM, we will 433 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: will continue to update you. We've got some audio that 434 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: is clear from what was taking place in terms of 435 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: the press conference and availability. UH. They said they're still 436 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who this shooter is, what the 437 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: motivations may have been. But to your point, Buck, I 438 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: can't remember you guys can tweet us if you can't. 439 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: I can't remember ever a mass shooting event with a 440 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: teenage woman as the trigger person. Right, Maybe it has happened, 441 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: I cannot remember it ever having occurred. Almost all shooters 442 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: in these situations are male typically, and so we will 443 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: wait and see what exactly could have happened here, who 444 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: this person could be, why they were there. So we'll 445 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: continue to follow us very closely. Eight hundred two A 446 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: two two eight A two.

For 477 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: those of you who are familiar with the city of Nashville, 478 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: my hometown, I certainly can empathize always with parents, but 479 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: in particular as one who put three kids in school 480 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: this morning. This is every parent's worst nightmare. We know 481 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: that this was a female shooter. According to authorities, three kids, 482 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: three adults killed. Responding Nashville police officers then killed the shooter. 483 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: Shooter was armed with at least three weapons. I believe 484 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: we have audio set up now of the spokesperson for 485 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: the Metro Police Department, Don Aaron, laying out these details 486 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 1: for you. Succinctly listen to this. We know at this 487 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: point that this shooter is a female. She appears to 488 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: be in her teams. Although her identification has not been 489 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: confirmed at this juncture, we know that she was armed 490 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: with at least two assault type rifles and a handgun. 491 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: We are efforting now to identify her. She entered the 492 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: school through a side entrance and traversed her way from 493 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: the first floor to the second floor, firing multiple shots. Okay, 494 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: so that is again directly from the spokesperson for the 495 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: Nashville Police Department. One thing that just strikes me. And again, 496 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: this is very it's very early stage of all the 497 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: reporting on this, and we could get we're going to 498 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: get more details, but we also could have some details 499 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: that change here. But that the shooter would go from 500 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: the first floor to the second floor seems to be 501 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 1: indicative of to me, given that we know it was 502 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: a pre planned a pice sorry pardon me, pre planned 503 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: murder spree, right, this person was going to go in there. 504 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: But it seems there was a target in mind, specifically 505 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: beyond you know, an individual target to go to the 506 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: second floor. I think that's likely here. I don't know 507 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: if it's an adult or you would think it would be, 508 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: or one of the children, but to not go on 509 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: the first floor, to go to the second floor. Seems 510 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: like there was a there was some there was some 511 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: choice of who this individual was going for. That's just 512 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: my first reaction to it. Um. Also, this is automatic. 513 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know if you've even 514 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: heard this yet. Buck. The minute that the press conference 515 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 1: was over, someone co opted the the press availability and 516 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: immediately started screaming about the need for gun control. I 517 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: just want to play you this because this is where 518 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: we are as a country. They literally just finished updating. 519 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: We still don't know who is responsible here, any of 520 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: the details. And this was a woman who took over 521 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: the mic and just started talking of covering this. Aren't 522 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: you guys tired of being here and having to cover 523 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: all of these mass shootings. I'm from high and her 524 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: family vacation with my son visiting my sister in law. 525 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: I have been lobbying in DC since we survived a 526 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: mass shooting in July. I have met with over one 527 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty lawmakers. How is this still happening? How 528 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: are our children still dying? And why are we failing them? 529 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: Gun violence is the number one killer of children, and 530 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to stop that. So Buck, think about where 531 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: we are as a nation. This woman, according to her 532 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: own statement, there is vacationing in Nashville, sees that there 533 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: is a mass shooting at a school, goes to the 534 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: mass shooting event as soon as the update is over, 535 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: before the microphones are turned off, she co opts the 536 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: microphone and immediately begins making a political argument. Like I said, 537 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: they won't even wait, they won't even wait till we 538 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: find out the casual, the figure from the police. They're 539 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: making arguments about politics right away. That is the mentality. 540 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: Think about Think about that for a minute, everybody out there, 541 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: as we are waiting to see what happened, why it happened, 542 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: Who did this? This person vacationing in Nashville travels to 543 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: the scene of a shooting and immediately co opts the 544 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: microphone to make a political argument, literally seconds after actual 545 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: officials step away from the microphones. So for those of 546 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: you out there who say, well, you know, let's give 547 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers to the family, let's try to figure 548 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: out exactly what happened. Buck, As you well know, virtually 549 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: every time a mass shooting occurs, it's the case that 550 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: the person who had the weapons violated the law to 551 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: have the weapons, right. So this idea that, oh, if 552 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: we just had more gun laws, these people wouldn't have 553 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: access to guns. No, most of the time they have 554 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: broken the law to get their guns, or they never 555 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: should have had them because they already had violent acts 556 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: in their past that would have kept them from having 557 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: access to fire. Assuming that the report is correct that 558 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: this is a teenage female in possession of the two 559 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: rifles in the handgun, there's definitely there's definitely possession crimes. 560 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 1: This person broke the laws. Persons now deceased also but 561 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: broke the law with regard to that. And also, as 562 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: we know, there are there are laws about guns in 563 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: a school zone. This person broke those laws too, so 564 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: and then there are the laws against murder and all 565 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: the rest of it. So when you look at this 566 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: people trying to make a policy or a political argument 567 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: out of it, they're just going to try to exploit 568 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: the very raw emotions right now, the sadness and the 569 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: tragedy surrounding the incident, and it's it's wrong, it's gross. Honestly, 570 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: people should be more respect Remember what did I say 571 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: just thirty minutes ago. I think they're just going to 572 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: jump onto this as a political issue. Right away. No 573 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: grieving allowed, no coming together as a community allowed without 574 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: a lecture. That was one anti gun activist. I think 575 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna be getting lectures, unfortunately, play from a much 576 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: more prominent place than that here preefing, but we'll see. 577 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: Thoughts and prayers to all the Nashville parents out there, 578 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: I am one of them, certainly, anyone with school kids 579 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: in Covenant School. It's been a brutal Monday start to 580 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: the week here in Nashville. More next hour
