Terror of Nashville school attack captured in 911 recordings

WARNING: This story contains distressing details

Authorities in Nashville, Tenn., released 911 calls Thursday that capture the terror inside an elementary school during the attack this week that left three children and three adults dead, as callers pleaded for help in hushed voices as sirens, crying and gunfire could be heard in the background.

Police released recordings of three calls made during Monday’s attack at the Covenant School.

One caller told a dispatcher that she could hear gunshots as she hid in an art classroom closet.

“It sounds like somebody is shooting guns,” the caller said in the recording, which started just before 10:13 a.m.
