Moment brave cop takes down Nashville school shooter with precision shots before colleague finishes her off on the floor: Cops release six minutes of hellish bodycam footage
Daily Mail UK ^ | March 28, 2023 | Jennifer Smith

Nashville Police have this morning released bodycam footage from yesterday's school shooting which left six people dead, including three nine-year-old children.

The footage shows heroic police officer Rex Englebert taking shooter Audrey Hale out within five minutes of arriving at the school, and 14 minutes after the first 911 call came in.

Hale was standing in front of a large window on a second floor atrium of The Covenant School by the time police entered the building.

When they arrived at the scene, a woman standing outside the school directed the officers on where to go.

A panicked male staff member was seen leaning on a tree. He handed Englebert the key he needed to gain access to the school.

One by one, the cops search classrooms looking for the shooter, before climbing a stairwell to the second floor.

That is where they located her in an atrium, standing in front of a large window. She was determined to die and fired at the cops, but was immediately struck down.

Englebert fired the first four shots using his service rifle. Upon approach, Officer Michael Collazo, fired another four shots from his weapon.

By the time police arrived, Hale had already shot three students and three teachers.

The transgender shooter - who was born female but often went by 'Aiden' and used 'he/him' pronouns - harbored a 'resentment' about having to attend the school as a child herself.

She shot and killed head teacher Katherine Koonce in the hallway in an 'assassination' style killing, in addition to shooting church custodian Mike Hill and substitute teacher Cynthia Peak.

This story will be erased and used how ‘trans’ are victimized by police who “misgender” and “deadname” them. By next week some evil democrat will have a bill in her name, sorry, ‘his’ name like the “protect trans from law enforcement” act and statues built to honor this monster.

“I don’t like to sound like I’m blaming the victims here, ...”

“but at this point in time I believe any school that doesn’t have armed staff on site at all times is criminally negligent.”
___________________________________________

While the first part (see above) was not necessarily needed, I rather think you were at at a loss of how to write the second part (see above).

The larger issue is not that schools won’t have armed staff on site; many, many schools want the armed staff. Liberal parents and hostile LEOs often stop schools from protecting themselves.

Even more insidious is the fact that School Administrators WANT all the students they can cram into their system simply for the vile government funding they receive per student. School Administrators don’t face the daily threats.

My personal belief? Politicians and every School Board Member, and every City Council Member against self-defense by arms should be forced to have his or her offices in the most dangerous part of the community and NOT HAVE ARMED staff.

It’s the ‘live by what you dictate’ plan and I fully endorse it.

And this goes to the top 20% of Democrate/RINOs/Socialists Donor class.

This is heartbreaking. Just imagine what kind of ‘support’ she got from the trans community and pathetic bleeding heart liberals (probably including teachers/professors) in “becoming the he she wanted to be.” It wouldn’t faze me if that “support” (I’d call grooming) began at a much earlier age where government’s actions and efforts were hidden from the parent.

But in the end, she couldn’t become a real he - not possible, and the disappointment that turns to blind, insane rage that culminated in this.

At one point there appears to be a body lying in the hallway. Good God what have we come to?

“man...you are a cop hater....got it bad,.”

No I’m not. I’m just trying to figure out why it takes 18 rounds to put down a rabid dog??

I mean for real use an IED next time.

The shooter was indeed a F—>M trans, was rabidly pro gun control...

Her mother was pro gun control. Don't know about rabidly but did have some comments on her social media.

I would have expected to see some blood somewhere in one of the photos or video.

I work in a hospital in southern NJ. We have armed security officers.

In a hospital. Think about the incongruity of that.

A place of healing and a place most people might think would be the last place for a shooting.

The reason for the armed officers is a few years ago a man came into the building and went to the oncology floor(the cancer unit).

He shot his terminally ill wife and then turned the gun on himself.

“Think about the incongruity of that.”
_____________________________

I tend to think counter-clockwise.

To my way of thinking the hospital setting would probably be the most logical place to put police officers.

Why?

The amount of personal grief that overwhelms the average citizen dealing with loss of life, amputations/maiming caused by criminal acts (including Drunk Driving), negligence by the hospital doctors/nurses/administrators.

There are cases where husbands/wives/lovers will end a partner’s life if it’s terminal and they are in great pain, at the request of the dying/terminally ill partner...some opt for jailtime afterwards having made peace with themselves prior to the act...others opt for suicide because they fear jail or they simply wish not to live without the other partner.

I wonder if that was the case with the murder/suicide you mentioned. Did the terminal ill wife want to die and couldn’t do it herself because she was already in the hospital? Was he honoring her wishes at the only place he could? I don’t know and am grateful to not have to make a judgement.

Was it horrible? Surely, it weighs still on those who witnessed the aftermath or heard the shots.

It doesn’t however excuse the cowardice of the political elite or the cowardly citizenry who have something to gain, leaving people unable to defend themselves.

Life is messy. Evil and messy with the moments of Grace spread among those evil and messy events.

At the time of this shooting there were no armed security officers. It was as a result of this that my hospital has them.

The police are only in the building when they are bringing in suspects who've been injured or if there is some event in which they'd be needed but thankfully that's rare. The county jail is up the road from us and armed correction officers bring prisoners in for treatment.
