Sheneca Cowart faces multiple felony gun charges following the incident at The Academy of McCrory Lane on Thursday.
A Tennessee teacher has been arrested after she allegedly threatened to shoot a colleague in the preschool where she worked, police said.
Sheneca Cowart was charged with assault, threat of mass violence at a school and two counts of carrying a weapon onto school property following the Thursday incident at The Academy of McCrory Lane in Nashville.
Authorities took Cowart into custody after witnesses said she threatened to "retrieve a firearm and made threats against another teacher and the school after an argument," the Metro Nashville Police Department said.
Staff members alleged 29-year-old Cowart threatened to “shoot up” the preschool and that she keeps a gun “on her,” according to NBC News affiliate WSMV.
Another teacher claimed to overhear Cowart say “when I start shooting, you better run,” prompting the preschool to go into lockdown, WSMV reported.
“Arm the teachers” they said…
Arm the teachers to stop pupils. But the pupils need to be armed to stop teachers. Then you need to arm the lunch ladies to bring balance.
And install metal detectors. You can’t enter school unarmed.

Do NOT fuck with the lunch ladies.
Lunch ladies must be handing food out from the cafeteria machine gun nest. Principal’s office needs an AA gun for all around protection.
We already had metal detectors in our schools
YEEEE HAAAWWWW!!!
And Republicans want to arm the teachers. Man love living in the land of freedom. /s
Need more bear arms.
It’s a bare arm. Close enough.
“Bear Hands”
Guns can’t be the problem, its most definitely the preschools fault for hiring a nut job. Yes, that’s the problem ban all preschools!
In case you didn't get it
/s
“when I start shooting, you better run”
That statement alone should have gotten her dragged to the ground and detained.
muricaaaaaaaaa!!!1!!
Cowart was held on a $37,000 bond before being released from jail the same night.
TF, she walked free and presumably is free currently? I guess this behavior is no big deal in TN.
Yeah, that’s how out justice system functions almost everywhere in the US, unless you seem to be an imminent threat or a flight risk. If you can post bond you can continue living your life until you’re convicted. DC got rid of this because it’s pretty fucked up that it very heavily hurts the poor more than the wealthy. That’s why you have all the January 6th coup participants sitting in jail while awaiting trial.

The gun nuts republicans want to arm teachers with handguns.
Exactly. They want this shit to be mandatory.

You know what would make schools safer? Gun laws.
I don’t want to live in a hellscape where preschool teachers are wearing body armor

Making kids be afraid to be in school is a recipe for horrible mental health. They should be made to feel safe and comfortable. Forcing them to wear bulletproof vests is not a valid solution. Laws aimed at reducing gun violence are.
You understand that what you are writing is insanity, right?

Why do you need a gun to work at a preschool?!?
Some of those three year olds can get feisty before nap time
If I could face palm myself from space I would. But even then it’s not far enough. Maybe Proxima Centauri. Yeah, a face palm from 4.2465 light years away.
If someone was dead set on going to prison for a very, very long time this is a really good way to achieve that goal.
That gun belongs on a biscuit.
I knew it was a Taurus before I saw the picture.
