Hero: Katherine Koonce, Head Of Nashville Christian School, Ran Toward Transgender Murderer’s Gunfire

Another warrior was already moving in the direction of the criminal just before authorities proudly closed in on Audrey Hale, the ostensibly trans shooter who killed six men, including three kids, at a Nashville Christian education on Monday.

According to Nashville City Councilman Russ Pulley, Katherine Koonce, the head of The Covenant School, hurried to shield her students from Hale after a Zoom call was cut off by gunshots. Katherine Koonce was on a Zoom call when she heard the second shot, according to the testimony at the school, in my opinion. Pulley told Fox News that she ended the face right away, stood up, and went straight for the shot.

In a Facebook post, he added,” Dr. Koonce, upon hearing the first shots, ran toward the danger.”

Hale killed Koonce, 60, along with other employees Michael Hill and Cynthia Peak, as well as 9-year-old individuals Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney.

Pulley also pointed out that Koonce had already started practicing active shooter maneuvers at the elementary school, which he blamed for saving life on Monday.

He claimed that she prepared the school by obtaining advanced-level active-shooter training, and that this protocol — the specifics of which I am unable to disclose — saved countless lives from witnesses present at the scene.

John Drake, the captain of the Nashville Metropolitan Police, confirmed that Koonce and the shot had spoken.

He claimed in a news conference on Tuesday that” she was in the hall by herself.” You may tell how she was lying in the hall that there was a fight.

Pastor John Bourgeois wrote that Koonce” gave her life in defence of the kids under her charge” in a email to customers of West End Community Church.

It doesn’t shock me at all that she died defending men because she loved both God and men, said Covenant mother Stephana Greene. Koonce’s individual her to her students and their families was also noted by Greene. She told a local information station that she would be willing to either steer you in scripture or worship with you if you arrived at the school 15 to 20 minutes later. She would then be happy to do so.

There were a lot of times when I felt like giving up, and so she would battle for us, according to Barrett Severance, an ex-student of Koonce’s.

She frequently fought for all of her individuals after we stopped fighting for ourselves because she was such a hero for them.
