Melissa Joan Hart broke down in tears as she revealed she helped kindergartners fleeing from Monday’s Nashville school massacre. 

The Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 46, star looked visibly emotional during the clip, saying: ‘My husband and I were on our way to school for conferences. Luckily our kids weren’t in today.

‘We helped a class of Kindergartners across a busy highway. They were climbing out of the woods, they were trying to escape a shooter situation at their school. 

Melissa, whose sons attend a school right next to Covenant Christian Academy, said: ‘So we helped these tiny little kids cross the road and get their teachers over there.’

‘We helped a mom reunite with her children and I just … I don’t know what to say. Enough is enough. Just pray, pray for the families.’

She also emotionally told her viewers that her family had moved to Nashville from Connecticut.

Melissa explained: ‘We moved here from Connecticut where we were in school a little ways down from Sandy Hook, so this is our second experience with a school shooting with our kids being in close proximity.

‘Luckily we are all okay.’ 

Hart ended the video saying that ‘enough is enough’ and asking her followers to ‘pray for the families’ who were impacted by the violence. 

On Monday morning, transgender 28-year-old Audrey Halle attacked the Covenant school, which she previously attended, at around 10 in the morning.

At around 10.13am, Hale opened fire at The Covenant School, shooting and killing Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all aged nine.

Substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, head of school Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, and custodian Mike Hill, 61, were also killed.

Koonce worked alongside her daughter Anna at The Covenant School, who serves as a faculty/student assistant.

Within 14 minutes, Hale was dead, as Nashville police revealed photos of the two officers – Rex Engelbart and Michael Collazo – who shot and killed Hale.

In a statement issued late Monday night, a spokesperson for the school said: ‘Our community is heartbroken.

‘We are grieving tremendous loss and are in shock coming out of the terror that shattered our school and church.

‘We are focused on loving our students, our families, our faculty and staff and beginning the process of healing.’

Police said Hale was transgender, although they haven’t specified further details. She was born female, but a LinkedIn profile believed to be hers uses he/him pronouns, suggesting Hale was living as a man.

On Monday night they continued to refer to Hale as ‘she’.  

John Drake, the chief of Nashville police, said Hale left a manifesto which suggested simmering anger at being sent to a Christian school.

Hale’s mother, Norma Hale, worked as a coordinator at a local church and posted about religion frequently on Facebook. 

‘The person we know as Audrey Hale, she’s a 28-year-old Nashvillan. We have belief that she went to school in the area – at that actual school.

‘There’s some belief that there was some resentment for having to go to that school,’ said Drake, speaking to NBC News.

‘Don’t have all the details to that just yet and that’s why this incident occurred.’

The six victims were three nine-year-old children and three staff members.  

How the Nashville school shooting unfolded

09:53am – Hale’s gray Honda Fit is seen arriving at The Covenant School in Nashville.

09:54am – Hale is seen driving through the parking lot, seemingly calm. Nothing suggests anything is out of the ordinary as she finds a spot to park.

10:10am – The glass front door, which was locked, is shattered as Hale opens fire. She then steps through the debris into the empty reception of the church, which is adjacent to the school.

10:13am – Brandishing her assault rifle, Hale is seen entering a carpeted room, inside the church looking for any victims. The room is empty. The first call to 911 about shots being fired in the building came in at this time.

10:18am – Hale is seen on the same camera inside the church still looking for victims. She opens a door into the next room.

10:19am – The 28-year-old returns through the door, and aims her gun, although there is no one there. She tries another door, then returns 30 seconds later.

10:20am – Hale is now walking through a wooden-floored building labelled ‘first’ in the footage, past an empty reception. She stalks the corridor, then disappears from view.

10:27am – Hale is shot dead on the second floor of the school, having engaged officers who fired back, killing her.
