Head Of Nashville School Murdered When She Ran Toward Shooter: Report
Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Hank Berrien.
The headmistress of The Covenant School in Nashville, where a woman who identified as transgender shot and killed three 9-year-old children and three adults, reportedly ran toward the shooter before she herself was murdered.
Dr. Katherine Koonce, 61, was gunned down by the shooter in the corridor after the shooter shot through the locked glass door at the entrance and an alarm went off. The shooter then began going through the halls.
"I am grateful for the heroic efforts of the school staff and our police department," Nashville Metro Council representative Russ Pulley, a former special agent for the FBI and former state trooper, wrote on Facebook. "The headmaster, Dr. Koonce, upon hearing the first shots, ran toward the danger. She also made sure the school was prepared with active shooter training and protocols."
"It is my understanding from a witness at the school that Katherine Koonce was on a Zoom call when she heard the first shot. She immediately ended the call, got up and headed straight for the shooter," Pulley told Fox News Digital. "She did what principals and headmasters do; she protected her children. In addition, she prepared the school by seeking advanced-level active-shooter training, and from witnesses at the scene, this protocol - details of which I cannot provide - saved countless lives."
During the COVID pandemic, Koonce had written on the school blog about the use of the term "whatever" in the Bible:
Daily I need to open my heart to whatever. Whatever God has for our school, whatever the duration of our distance learning, whatever the trials we're having to endure - we still believe, we are still faithful, we will still love Him wholeheartedly. Whatever difficulties or blessings are evident in our homes, we will seek to do the next right thing. With hands open to whatever, we will make good decisions, we will construct good plans, and we will seek to do whatever pleases God.
"There are certain people that are panic-resistant people, teachers, doctors, nurses, cops, firefighters, street reporters, there are certain people who are drawn to certain jobs that are panic resistant. And teachers are in that category," National Police Association spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith added. "So, what you had is the police response, and then you had these teachers who obviously had trained, obviously discussed this. And they worked so well with the police officers, and they provided the right information at the right time and obviously risked themselves."
"There was a confrontation, I'm sure - you can tell the way she was lying in the hallway," Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Tuesday.
Pulley saluted the teachers and staff at the school for the way they dealt with the schoolchildren in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, saying, "I was at that scene and observed them calmly handling the children like it was another day at school. After all the children were reunited with their parents, the staff became emotional. But while they had their children, they were amazingly doing what teachers and administrators do: take care of their children. And those children seemed to be doing as well as they could under the circumstances."

I'm with you. I love our gun laws and think they are working as intended. Thank you republicans for making sure everyone walks around with a gun. I have never felt this safe! Stand strong guys.

The Nashville shooter left a manifesto, making her attack a political act. And it is appalling that the local police have failed to release that manifesto yet. The Colorado "transgender" would-be terorist who was stopped in time because his sister turned him in, also wrote a manifesto. Both of these were timed around the "Transgender Day of Rage".
The Kentucky situation was wholly different, being workplace violence of a shooter who had just been fired, and who also apparently had mental health problems. My point is a kid witnessing at attacker being taken down is much better off that a kid who is dead. And the attack weapon may well be something different than a gun. Several children at a school were killed recently in Brazil with a hatchet, and there was a mass stabbing of multiple children at a school bus stop in Japan before that. |

See, trans gender terrorist is Lynch mob talk. Was the KY shooter a white male Christian terrorist? Hmmm?
My point is, to a young kid, witnessing a head being blown off, is going to f him/her up for life. Now look, we got another one in Alabama today. Stand firm. Let's get these kids buried so we can move on. Nothing matters more than my gun rights. Stupid liberals. |

I'm sure that many liberals would rather have some 9 year olds wasted by a "transgender" terrorist than a teacher cut off the attack by using her own gun to put down the terrorist. They are totally sick to be so anti-gun as to deny the protection of a good guy with a gun.

Totally agree but I'm sure some liberal will be upset when a classroom of 5 year olds watch their teacher shoot someone in the head. Nothing says I've got PTSD in my future like kids splashed with brain matter in a classroom. Stupid liberals.

Too bad she did not have a gun, or at least a crossbow. It is time to arm trained and vetted school personnel. Florida authorized that over a year ago, and they have not had these problems since.

Now we live in a strange time where objective foundational truths of natural law have been cast down, however at the same time science and technology built up. When the private information of just about everyone on the planet, is databased and pooled by major companies and the governments. We know that all personal online activity is monitored. We know there is the ability listen to every microphone and look through every camera lens.
There is such a thing as targeted individuals. Those who fit a profile of a subject who is able to be compelled to violent action thru a series of triggering events. It is not a coincidence that you will hear a lot of mass shooters saying they heard voices telling them to kill people. The human brain is simply a vast electronic network. In the age we live, I don’t believe it would be to far fetched to say that all this electronic technology we keep near our heads, as well as the countless waves of radio frequencies and cell tower beams that we are bombarded with daily, have an effect on brainwave function and frequency. Some would even say there are those who know how to use high technology for the inception of thoughts.
The atmosphere amplifies an electronic wave. All of our information travels through the atmosphere. Whether it be sound waves or radio or cellular.
Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved
