Melissa Joan Hart is sharing her heartbreaking experience of The Covenant School shooting in Nashville that occurred on Monday (March 27).
The Sabrina the Teenage Witch actress and her husband Mark Wilkerson, who share three children — Mason, Braydon, and Tucker—were en route to parent-teacher conferences at another nearby school when tragedy struck.
“We helped a class of kindergartners across a busy highway,” she shared, through tears in an Instagram video. “They were climbing out of the woods. They were trying to escape the shooter situation at their school. So, we helped all these tiny little kids cross the road and get their teachers over there and we helped a mom reunite with her children.”
