NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities have released 911 recordings that capture the terror inside a Nashville elementary school during a mass shooting this week. Callers are heard pleading for help in hushed voices while sirens, crying and gunfire can be heard in the background. Police on Thursday released recordings of three emergency calls made during Monday’s attack at The Covenant School, in which three children and three adults were killed. In one, a man tells the dispatcher that he saw a man dressed in camoflauge firing an “assault rifle” through the door. Authorities say police shot and killed the assailant. Meanwhile, hundreds of people protested Thursday for stricter gun controls at the state Capitol.
