Avriana Patton got a notification on her phone at 9.57 a.m. on a Monday morning.

And what she saw prompted her to immediately notify authorities. Her former classmate Audrey at sent her an

Instagram message indicating that she was at risk for suicide. On her father's advice, she called a

suicide hotline, then informed the sheriff's office. I was just like, again, I was just like shocked.

And initially I was, you know, trying to come for her. But as soon as I got it, it was just like shocked and initially I was you know trying to come for her but

soon as I got it it was just like this is strange let me send this to my daddy I

screenshot to him I was like do I call somebody he was like yes and I was like okay

who do I call like how do I deal with something like this like so then he was like

called the suicide prevention and then that's when I started that process of trying to reach out.

I understand if I'm right, Averyana, they told you to call the local deputy.

10.13 a.m. you call the local sheriff's office.

They tell you to call the non-emergency line, which you did immediately.

1014, one minute later, you called the Nashville

non-emergency line. They said they'd send someone over. At 329, so obviously, many hours later,

someone arrives at your home. Of course, the shooting was at 1013. Yeah, you've done everything

you could. I mean, have you spoken to investigators since?

I have.

But what Avriana didn't know is at that exact same moment, Audrey was firing shots with their AR-style rifle

and unleashing a massive attack on the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.

We're coming on the air with breaking news. There has been a shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. We're coming on the air with breaking news. There has been a shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.
