The Nashville Police officers who responded to last week’s mass shooting at a Christian private school gave their firsthand accounts of how the incident unfolded.

Detective Sgt. Jeff Mathes, Detective Michael Collazo, and Officer Rex Engelbert described that it was luck that they were in the area last week when an active shooter was reported at the school. Rex Engelbert, a four-year veteran, and Michael Collazo, a nine-year veteran, shot and killed Audrey Hale at the Covenant School last week, officials confirmed. Hale shot and killed three 9-year-old children and three adults.
