Hundreds gathered on Wednesday at a candlelight vigil in Nashville to honour and mourn the three children and three adults who were killed in a shooting at a Christian school this week.

The downtown ceremony for the victims of the shooting at The Covenant School was sombre and at times tearful, as speaker after speaker read the names of the victims and offered condolences to their loved ones.
