Police said on Tuesday that they have yet to determine a motive in the Nashville, Tennessee, elementary school shooting.

警方周二表示，他们尚未确定田纳西州纳什维尔小学枪击案的动机。

This school, this church building, was a target of the shooter, Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters a day after the shooting at the Covenant School that left six people dead, including three young students.

“这所学校，这座教堂建筑，就是枪手的目标，”纳什维尔警方发言人唐·亚伦在圣约学校枪击事件发生一天后表示，枪击事件造成六人死亡，其中包括三名小学生。

But we have no information at present to indicate that the shooter was specifically targeting any one of the six individuals who were murdered, Aaron stressed.

亚伦强调说：“但我们目前没有任何信息表明，枪手是专门针对六名被害者中的任何一人。”

The shooter, identified as 28-year-old Nashville resident Audrey Hale, purchased at least seven guns legally and locally, according to Nashville police chief John Drake.

据纳什维尔警察局长约翰·德雷克说，枪手是28岁的纳什维尔居民奥黛丽·黑尔，她在当地合法购买了至少7支枪。

Drake said that the shooter planned the shooting and used three of the guns, including two AR-style weapons, in the attack carried out on Monday morning before being killed by responding officers inside the Christian private school.

德雷克说，枪手策划了这次枪击，并在周一早上进行的袭击中使用了三把枪，其中包括两把AR式武器，然后在基督教私立学校内被警察击毙。

There have been 130 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter.

根据枪支暴力档案网（Gun Violence Archive）的数据，今年到目前为止，美国已经发生了130起大规模枪击案。该档案对大规模枪击案的定义是，不包括枪手，至少有四人被枪杀。

Meanwhile, more than 10,000 people, including hundreds of children and teens, have lost their lives to gun violence in the past three months, the website's data showed.

与此同时，该网站的数据显示，在过去三个月里，有超过1万人死于枪支暴力，其中包括数百名儿童和青少年。
