How One Actress Helped the Victims of the Nashville Shooting
God used this actress and her husband to help the children affected by this shooting.
From PJ Media. Not all angels have wings. Actress Melissa Joan Hart and her husband, metal singer Mark Wilkerson, were headed to school for a student-teacher conference in Nashville last Monday when traffic stopped in front of them. “There [was] just a school of children coming through the woods” on the side of the highway. Though they didn’t know what was happening, they immediately did what many people would do. They helped.

Monday was the day that a woman took two semi-automatic rifles and a handgun to the Covenant Christian School. …
Hart and Wilkerson were driving to the parent-teacher conference at another school their attention was captured by the odd sight of a helicopter just hovering nearby. Then, Hart told NewsNation that a car in front of them suddenly came to an abrupt stop on the five-lane highway.
…I’ll never forget this image — a woman coming out of the woods onto this five-lane highway. There’s this calm expression on her face and yet she is so stoic — and all these little children start crossing the street. She stops the traffic and she gets the children and I get out of the car and I go and try to help her, lifting the children [who are] pushing past shrubbery, lifting them out of the woods, and one little kid says to me, “what’s going on?” and I told him “we’re just crossing the street right now.” And I was praying the child didn’t hear the fear in my voice because it’s all coming together what’s going on. …
Wilkerson and Hart were stunned at the scene.
There was a helicopter, there are no cops around, there’s just a school of children coming through the woods. And we got them across the street as fast as we could. The teachers didn’t want to make eye contact — I think it’s because I think they were trying not to break down, they were trying to hold it together for these children and then I wasn’t really sure how to help.
The mother of three went to comfort the kids. “One of them was crying and I said, ‘you’re OK, you’re OK.’ And then another little girl said, ‘I like your pink shirt,’ and I said, ‘Well, I like your shirt too.’”
Another mom stopped to help. After the children were cleared, she told Hart, “I have children in there.” They immediately started praying. Soon, another mom joined them. As they prayed on the highway embankment, police descended. …
Hart said she “went back to our car, which was parked in the other direction, and as I’m sitting there wondering what’s going on?” Hart said, “it seems like it’s a shooter situation but I don’t want to put those words together yet. As I’m sitting there, four ambulances go by and I realize [she tears up] what is happening.” …
Thank God for angels like Hart and Wilkerson who used their hearts and heads for good.
