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.
