Nashville mourns young shooting victim while demanding gun control
The first funeral for a victim of the Nashville school shooting was held on Friday for 9-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus, who was remembered as a "beacon of light and hope." Attendees arrived in springtime colors as a tribute to the child's spirit. The shooting killed three students and three adults. The horrific act of violence was committed by a former Covenant student who police officers gunned down as the suspect opened fire on arriving law enforcement, authorities said. A motive has not yet been made public.
