Melissa Joan Hart was seen chatting with one of her neighbors outside her Nashville home days after revealing she helped a group of children escape a mass shooting.
After recently detailing how she helped get a class of kindergartners to safety when a 28-year-old shooter named Audrey Hale killed six people at her private Christian elementary school on Monday, the 46-year-old actress years old, she looked relaxed in sportswear.
In her laid-back outing, she wore a blue tank top, black sports bra, leggings, and a matching pair of sneakers with white accents.
The Sabrina the Teenage Witch star, who has been married to Mark Wilkerson since 2003, sported her blonde hair in a low ponytail and sported a French manicure.
Despite her calm demeanor, the mother-of-three has expressed online that the past few days have made her feel “immeasurable sadness and anger”.

While reflecting on the deaths at Covenant School, the New York native told her fans via Instagram that this week her community is trying to “figure out how to process, heal and move forward.”
“My mind has been consumed by thoughts of pain and sadness,” one post captioned, listing the faces and names of all the victims who lost their lives.
Hart continued: “I wish I had the words to accurately describe the impact of this trauma on my community and those directly affected by this horrific event.”
Clarissa’s student explains it all “angry that more than a decade after the Sandy Hook school massacre, we have yet to bury the children of mass school shootings.”
‘I’m angry that we as a society accept this, but this is not normal! And I refuse to accept this as a normal part of life for my children and the children of our country. Now is the time to act to help protect our youngest and most vulnerable members of society – our children,” he told his 1.7 million followers on Saturday.
He concluded his emotional post by writing that he prays that “the victims sleep well in the arms of their Savior.”
Her post comes after she shared footage of herself breaking down in tears over the Nashville school massacre on Monday.
In the clip, uploaded to her social media account, the artist seemed visibly emotional as she said: “My husband and I were on our way to school to attend a conference.” Luckily our children were away today.

‘We helped a class of kindergarten children cross a busy road. They were coming out of the woods, they were trying to escape a shooter situation at their school.
Melissa, whose children attend a school right next to Covenant Christian Academy, said, “So we help these little kids cross the street and get their teachers there.”
‘We helped a mother reunite with her children and I just… I don’t know what to say. Enough is enough. Just pray, pray for the families.’
She also emotionally told her viewers that her family had moved to Nashville from Connecticut.
Melissa explained, “We moved here from Connecticut, where we were at the school just down from Sandy Hook, so this is our second experience with a school shooting with our children very close.”
Luckily we are all fine.
Hart ended the video by saying “enough is enough” and asked his followers to “pray for the families” who were affected by the violence.
Distraught: Earlier this year, Hart looked visibly distraught as she explained how she helped children after Monday’s deadly shooting at Covenant Christian Academy on Instagram
‘We helped a class of kindergarten children cross a busy road. They were coming out of the woods, they were trying to escape a shooter situation at their school,” she revealed earlier this week.
On Monday morning, Hale opened fire at The Covenant School, shooting and killing Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all aged nine.
Substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, school principal Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, and janitor Mike Hill, 61, were also killed.
Koonce worked alongside her daughter Anna at The Covenant School, who serves as a teacher/student assistant.
Within 14 minutes, Hale was dead, as Nashville police released photos of the two officers, Rex Engelbart and Michael Collazo, who shot and killed Hale.
In a statement released Monday night, a school spokesperson said: “Our community is heartbroken.
“We are grieving a tremendous loss and are in shock coming out of the terror that tore apart our school and church.
‘We are focused on loving our students, our families, our faculty and staff and beginning the healing process.’
