A video was released late Monday night by the Metro Nashville Police Department showing the moments before the 28-year-old shooter, identified as Hale, unleashed horror by firing bullets through the glass doors of the private Christian academy.
After entering the building, it is revealed that Hale is carrying three firearms with him at all times: two rifles and a handgun.
He is accompanied by around two hundred and fifty students ranging from preschool to sixth grade.

When the police came, Hale had already shot and killed three pupils who were under 9 years old as well as three members of the staff at the private school.
It is believed that Hale ended her shooting spree by taking her own life after opening fire on police officers who were in their vehicles from a window on the second level of the building.
Both Rex Englebert and Michael Collazo were the cops who were responsible for the initial shooting of Hale.
Both Englebert and Collazo have been with the department for a total of nine years, while Englebert has been there for only four.
According to Nashville’s Police Chief John Drake, even though the school was the intended target, the students who were killed were chosen at random.
According to the police, Hale had been a previous patient at the facility.
During a press conference that took place on Monday, Drake stated, “We have a manifesto, we have certain things that we’re looking over that pertain to this date, the actual incident.”
