The hospitalization was the first since Francis had his colon removed in July of 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nashville Shooting Update<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Nashville reels from the Covenant School shooting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/head-of-nashville-school-murdered-when-she-ran-toward-shooter-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">details of heroic action taken<\/a> by students, teachers, and staff are trickling in. In one instance, the late Dr. Katherine Koonce, age 61, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the head of the School, reportedly ran toward the shooter before she herself was gunned down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Koonce is being praised for her bravery after a witness said she ran toward the shooter to stop her on Monday. According to Nashville Councilman Russ Pulley, a witness said that Koonce \u201cwas on a Zoom call when she heard the first shot. She immediately ended the call, got up, and headed straight for the shooter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pulley told Fox news that Koonce, \u201cdid what principals and headmasters do; she protected her children.\u201d Koonce also prepared the children and staff with advanced-level active-shooter drills. That training is also being credited for saving lives. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>D.C.
