In surveillance footage released by Nashville police late Monday, Hale is seen driving to the school. Hale, armed with multiple firearms, including an AR-style rifle, shoots through glass doors to enter the building. Hale walks in hallways and aims the assault rifle before the video cuts off. The video, with no audio, is more than two minutes long.
Drake said the department will release body camera video from officers who encountered the shooter.
Who were the victims?
Police identified the student victims as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all age 9. The staffers were Katherine Koonce, 60, identified on the Covenant website as "head of school"; substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61; and custodian Mike Hill, 61.
Hallie was the daughter of Chad Scruggs, lead pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church, according to a statement from his former church in Dallas.
We love the Scruggs family and mourn with them over their precious daughter Hallie," Mark Davis, senior pastor at Park Cities Presbyterian Church, said in a statement. "Together, we trust in the power of Christ to draw near and give us the comfort and hope we desperately need.”
Mourners gathered at Belmont united Methodist church to remember and pray for the victim of the covenant school.
