Authorities released 911 recordings on Thursday that capture the terror inside a Nashville elementary school during a mass shooting this week, as callers pleaded for help in hushed voices while sirens, crying and gunfire could be heard in the background. In one call, a man tells the dispatcher he is with a group of people, including several children, who are walking away from the Christian school toward a main road. When the dispatcher requests a description of the shooter, a woman responds that she heard about 10 shots and left the building. In another call, a woman tells a dispatcher that she can hear gunshots and that she’s hiding in an art room closet. The teacher then says she can hear more gunshots and muffled thuds can be heard.

Authorities say the attack ended when police shot and killed the assailant, a former student they identified as 28-year-old Audrey Hale.
