Carrie Underwood Led Concert To Be Organized at Nashville School
All the proceeds from the benefit concert, featuring Carrie Underwood, and hosted by Annie F. Downs- the best-selling author- will also support the faculty, students, staff, and families of the Covenant School. In a press release, the author stated that she was extremely honored to be a part of this event- where she would be gathering up the stars in her city and then rallying around a community that was quite close to her heart. Hemby mentioned that Nashville was doing what it did best- using the talents and resources to support this community.
According to the report published by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the shooter- a 28-year-old former student of the school, opened fire inside the elementary school on the 27th of March which resulted in the deaths of three adults and three children. The victims of the attack were Hallie Scruggs, 9, Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, William Kinney, 9, Katherine Koonce, 60, Mike Hill, 61, and Cynthia Peak, 61.
