Nashville Shooting Victims Spark Calls for Gun Control and Sympathy from Across the Country

The first funeral service for the victims of the Nashville mass shooting will be held on Friday for nine-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus, who will be laid to rest on Saturday in a private burial. She was one of three children and three staff members who were gunned down last Monday by a 28-year-old who had previously attended the private Christian school. Her loved ones described her as a "shining light" and invited guests to wear pink or other joyful hues in tribute to her "love of color". More funerals will take place this weekend and into next week.
