A scanner from the local fire department initially stated that the shooter was a white male. Later reports indicated that the shooter was a woman. The shooter has not yet been identified.
Local law enforcement said the shooter was a 28-year-old former student who lived in the area.
Earlier reports from officials had suggested that the perpetrator might have been a teenager.
The shooter was killed after an encounter with police.
The incident resulted in the deaths of three adults and three children, while only one officer sustained minor injuries from cut glass. Police clarified that two officers out of a team of five were involved in engaging and shooting the suspect.
During a press briefing, Nashville Police Public Affairs Director Don Aaron stated that they are currently working to identify the suspect, who was described as a 28-year-old woman.
