WATCH: Nashville Reporter Covering School Massacre Survivor Of A 2010 School Shooting, Shares Her Traumatic Story

In total, three children and three adults were slain along with the shooter at Covenant Presbyterian School, according to the Metro Nashville Police. WSMV reports that the shooting has left many parents struggling to figure out how to talk to their children about this tragic event. Many are concerned that it might be too much for their children to process.

WSMV Reporter Joylyn Bukovac had a perspective worthy of sharing with the audience, and that is exactly what she did. She was 13 years old and in the eighth grade in Madison, Alabama, when she witnessed a shooting in the hallway at her school. It was certainly a traumatic experience that she still remembers vividly.

She said the following about arriving at the school shooting scene in Nashville: “I can’t even put into words what was going through my mind,” and “My heart broke for those families and at the same time my fight or flight response. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins because I know what those kids were experiencing, unfortunately, and I know what it’s like to hide from a shooter.”

She said that the sound of the shooting was similar to balloons popping, but she knew that it was bullets that she was hearing, and that made it all the more traumatic and scary for her. She said:

“My stuff was part of the crime scene. I couldn’t even take my backpack home that day,” and “I really just felt like a sitting duck not knowing if I was going to make it out of that school alive. Which is awful because every child should feel safe at school. No one should come to school anticipating possibly getting hurt, injured or experiencing something like this.”

Bukovac said what happened to her in eighth grade made her want to become a reporter and share her story. She is sad that it is a story she must share at a time like this. However, it should be shared with the world as widely as possible because we all need to adapt to the fact that it is a dangerous and scary world out there.

She said: “Just tell them that you a here to talk when they are ready,” and, “I think that is a big key, and don’t make them feel guilty about not wanting to talk.”
