Nashville authorities released 911 calls Thursday that capture the terror inside an elementary school during the attack this week that left three children and three adults dead, as callers pleaded for help in hushed voices as sirens, crying and gunfire could be heard in the background.
Police released recordings of three calls that were made during Monday's attack at The Covenant School.
One caller told a dispatcher that she could hear gunshots as she hid in an art classroom closet.
"It sounds like somebody is shooting guns," the caller said in the recording, which started just before 10:13 a.m. She then noted that there had been a pause in the gunshots.
The dispatcher asked if she was in a safe spot and said two other callers had reported gunshots at the school.
"I think so," the caller said, as children could be heard in the background.
The teacher then said she could hear more gunshots, and muffled thuds can be heard on the recording.
