Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel met with reporters on Thursday for the first time since Monday's shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville.
The heartbreaking tragedy took the lives of six people, including three children and three staff members.
Heupel spoke to reporters at Tennessee's pro day in Knoxville, opening his media session by offering condolences to the entire community in Nashville.
“This is the first time I’ve had an opportunity to speak publicly," said Heupel. "Just recognizing what happened in Nashville. From our program, myself, our prayers and thoughts are with the entire community in Nashville. Certainly with the teachers, administrators, students, everybody that was there at Covenant School. Hard to put into words."
"As a parent, two of my own and how that happens and the tragedy. Our hearts are hurt and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire community.”
