And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Tuesday. It is March 28th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, a shooter armed with two assault rifles and a handgun killed three students and three staff members at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday morning. It's already said. The suspect identified by police's 28-year-old Audrey Hale of Nashville had a detailed map of COVID school at a school where for students in preschool through sixth grade and shot through the door to gain entry to the school,

police said.

Police have since released surveillance video from inside the school, showing hell, getting in,

and walking around the school.

The video was posted on the department's Twitter page.

The children were identified by Nashville police as Evelyn Dikos, a Halle Shrugs, and William Kinney, all nine years old. The slain adults were identified as 61-year-old Cynthia Peake, 60-year-old Mike Hill and 60-year-old Catherine Kuntz, who was ahead of the school. Peak was a substitute teacher and Hill was a custodian, according to investigators. The suspect was shot and killed by authorities in a lobby area on the second floor of the school, roughly 14 minutes after the 911 call was placed.

Nashville police chief John Drake said that the student was a female that identified as transgender, but didn't immediately provide more details.

A police spokesperson later told ABC News, the shooter was assigned female at birth, but pointed to a social media account linked to the shooter that included the use of the pronouns he and him.

Drake also said authorities believe the suspect was a former student. No one was who no one who was shot survived officials said.

The suspect was armed with at least two assault-type rifles and a handgun.

At least two of those weapons were purchased legally investigators said.

The school has about 209 students and about 40 to 50 staff members.

President Joe Biden called the shooting a family's worst nightmare.

The president once again urged Congress to pass an assault weapons ban, saying it's about time that we begin to make more, some more progress.

First Lady Jill Biden on Monday said, I am truly without words, our children deserve better.
