Tennessee authorities have released the identities of the two Nashville police officers who shot and killed school shooter Audrey Hale during her bloody rampage at the Covenant School on Monday.
Hale, 28, killed six people during her attack, including three 9-year-old students. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department is being praised for their quick response to the Christian school's call for help. According to numerous reports, officers shot and killed Hale just 14 minutes after the initial shots fired call was made to the department. As the officers approached the school, Hale fired at them from the second floor of the building. The officers entered the school, located Hale, and returned fire. She was killed in the process. According to Fox17 News, the officers responsible for stopping Hale are Officers Rex Englebert & Michael Collazo.

While an official motive behind the attack is still unknown, authorities have confirmed that Hale, who identified as a transgender male, did intentionally target the small Christian school. MNPD Chief John Drake said Monday that Hale had drawn a map of the school halls and left behind a manifesto. Speaking to the press, Drake said: "I want to say thank you to our first responders who got there and immediately went in and addressed the threat of someone who had multiple rounds of ammunition, prepared for confrontation with law enforcement. And we were able to stop the threat and unfortunately six victims. So my thoughts and prayers again but my praise goes to the men and women as I've said before, we will not wait. I was hoping this day would never ever come here in this city, but we would never wait to go in and make entry... especially when it deals with our children."
Both officers will now take a well-deserved vacation, as per ordinary protocol, while the incident is investigated.
