‘An absolute dynamo’: shock and grief as Nashville shooting victims mourned

Details of three children and three adults shot dead at Covenant School in Tennessee capital have begun to emerge

Details from the rich, full lives of the three adults killed Monday at a Nashville elementary school have emerged quickly in the aftermath, but information on the three nine-year-old children - whose lives ended tragically young - has been slower to publicly surface from a community buried in grief.

The violence wielded by the hands of a former student of the Covenant School on Monday marks the 129th mass shooting in the US so far this year, according to the non-profit Gun Violence Archive.
