NASHVILLE, TN – Authorities have identified the suspect involved in the Antioch High School shooting as 17-year-old Solomon Henderson.
Investigators have revealed that Henderson livestreamed himself and displayed a firearm shortly before the tragic incident unfolded in the school cafeteria on Wednesday morning.
According to reports, students and witnesses have suggested that the shooting may have been premeditated.
Law enforcement officials are examining names found written on the suspect’s ammunition magazines, as well as suspicious online activity linked to Henderson in the days leading up to the incident.
The investigation remains active as officials work to determine the shooter’s motive and whether additional threats were planned.
The shooting resulted in the death of one female student, while another female sustained a graze wound to the arm.
A male student also suffered a facial injury, though it was not caused by gunfire. Henderson died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Upon receiving reports of the shooting at approximately 10:30 a.m., Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) officers and emergency personnel responded to Antioch High School, where they found the injured victims.
The school was immediately placed on lockdown as authorities worked to secure the building and ensure the safety of students and staff.
