Metropolitan Nashville police Officer Rex Engelbert believed March 27 would be an average day at work, but by that afternoon, he had been declared a hero.
Engelbert was part of a team of officers that took down a shooter who had killed six people — including three children — inside The Covenant School.
At a news conference this week, Engelbert slowly and solemnly detailed the actions he took to help stop the shooter, identified by police as 28-year-old Audrey Hale. Hale died as a result of the shots fired by Engelbert and others.
