US President Joe
Biden has ordered flags at half-mast

Nashville, the raid on the school caught on surveillance cameras
In the meantime, the police have announced that Audrey Elizabeth Hale, the 28-year-old former student who yesterday attacked her former school, killing six people, including three nine-year-old children, before being killed in turn by the police who intervened on the spot , had no criminal record.
The woman carried out, it was explained,
a targeted act developed after having supervised and studied in detail the plans
and maps of the school.
Police said they heard from the woman's father.
According to police, the woman was "resentful" at having had to attend a Christian school.
The 28-year-old - who identified as transgender and graduated last year from Nossi College of Art and, according to her LinkedIn profile, was a graphic designer who designed logos for companies - had considered at least one other school as a possible target for her attack , but had finally opted for the Christian one from Covenant because it had less security.
"She was
a very sweet girl
", a "normal" girl, maybe a little too quiet".
this is how her neighbors described her.
"I think Audrey's parents are as shocked as all of us in the neighborhood. There is nothing that would ever lead me to think she would be capable of such a thing or that she or her family would have had access to a gun," a neighbor told some American media.
