Nashville Shooting Victims Spark Calls for Gun Control and Sympathy from Across the Country
TL;DR
The first funeral service for the victims of the Nashville mass shooting will be held on Friday for nine-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus, who will be laid to rest on Saturday in a private burial. She was one of three children and three staff members who were gunned down last Monday by a 28-year-old who had previously attended the private Christian school. Her loved ones described her as a "shining light" and invited guests to wear pink or other joyful hues in tribute to her "love of color". More funerals will take place this weekend and into next week.
