Actress Melissa Joan Hart and her husband were on their way to their children’s school in Nashville on Monday when they found themselves helping a group of kindergartners and their teachers flee a shooter.
Hart’s kids attend classes near Covenant School — where former student Audrey Hale killed three students and three staff member — but were out of school that day for teacher conferences. The actress and her husband were on their way to a conference when they came across the kids.
In a Tuesday Instagram post, Hart said: “We helped a class of kindergarteners across a busy highway. They were climbing out of the woods. They were trying to escape a shooter situation at their school.
“We helped all these tiny little kids cross the road and get their teachers over there, and we helped mom reunite with her children,” Hart says tearfully in the video. “I don’t know what to say anymore.”
Hart began her video by talking about how her family used to live in Connecticut and her kids went to school not far from Sandy Hook when that shooting happened in 2012.
“This is our second experience with a school shooting where our kids were in close proximity,” she said.
“Enough is enough,” she added, and concluded her video by asking her followers to pray for the school’s families.
