etonline.com:

Melissa Joan Hart recalled the horrific scene she witnessed in the aftermath of the most recent mass shooting, this time in Nashville, Tennessee, where three children and three adults died when a shooter opened fire at the Covenant Presbyterian School.The star took to her podcast on Wednesday and explained exactly what she witnessed on Monday at the school «right next» to the one where her three children --  ages 10, 15, and 17 — attend.

Hart, who previously said this was her second experience with a school mass shooting after moving from Connecticut (where 20 children were killed in 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown), said she and her co-host, Amanda Lee, were on their way to their kids' schools for a parent conference when they saw the unthinkable unfolding, which included a teacher guiding children across a highway and away from danger. «I was driving to our conference — my husband and I — and saw a helicopter,» she said. «We're like, 'That's really weird.' Then we tried to get across the street and one cop car was just there directing traffic to turn.

We turned and the car in front of us stopped and, all of a sudden, I saw a teacher, and this is the part I'll never forget, coming out with no abandon, walking into the street, stopping traffic and all of a sudden all these tiny children going by.

The look on her face just changed my life.»Hart recalled thinking that something was terribly wrong, and that point was accentuated when she remembered the helicopter and the cop.
