Antioch High School shooting livestreamed, suspect identified as 17-year-old Solomon Henderson
NASHVILLE, TN – Investigators are uncovering more details regarding the tragic shooting at Antioch High School, revealing that the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Henderson, allegedly livestreamed himself and displayed a firearm moments before opening fire inside the school cafeteria.
Authorities confirm that the incident, which occurred on Wednesday morning, resulted in the death of one female student, injuries to two others, and the suspect’s death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A second female victim sustained a graze wound to the arm, while a male student suffered a non-gunshot-related facial injury.
Witnesses and students have reported that the shooting may have been premeditated, as investigators are looking into names written on the suspect’s ammunition magazines and his online activities leading up to the event.
Law enforcement officials are closely examining these findings to determine if further threats were intended.
Following the shooting, Antioch High School was placed on lockdown as Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) officers and emergency responders arrived on the scene.
The reunification site for students and parents was set up at 3754 Murfreesboro Pike, with transportation provided by school buses.
Metro Nashville Public Schools released a statement confirming that the situation was contained and that there was no ongoing threat to students or staff.
“This remains an active investigation. We will continue to work closely with MNPD to provide updates to the community as new information becomes available,” the statement read.
In addition to local law enforcement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has joined the investigation to analyze potential evidence and determine the origins of the firearm used in the incident.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the suspect’s activities or the shooting itself to contact the police as the investigation continues.

Elgin Public Schools Teacher Holly Hill Dies From Complications Two Years After Drinking Poisoned Margarita
ELGIN, Okla. — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) has launched a formal investigation into the death of Holly Hill, a 30-year-old teacher, wife, and mother from Elgin, Oklahoma, who died last week from long-term medical complications reportedly caused by ingesting a poisoned margarita at a local restaurant in 2023.
OSBI officials confirmed that the investigation began at the request of Comanche County District Attorney Kyle Cabelka following Hill’s death on Thursday.
According to Hill’s family, her health issues began on Valentine’s Day 2023, when she dined at Hacienda Las Margaritas Bar & Grill in Elgin.
During the evening, Hill ordered a second margarita that, unbeknownst to her, contained a highly caustic industrial cleaning chemical rather than the intended cocktail ingredients.
“Her mouth was on fire, and she knew something wasn’t right,” recalled Kelly Hunter, Hill’s mother. “She immediately jumped up and ran to the bathroom, started throwing up, and rinsing her mouth out with water.”
The ingestion caused severe internal burns to Hill’s esophagus and digestive tract, leading to two years of intense medical treatment.
Hill underwent more than 60 medical procedures, including repeated esophageal dilations and surgeries, as doctors attempted to repair the extensive damage.
Despite her deteriorating health, Hill continued teaching at Elgin Public Schools, where she was described as a dedicated educator loved by her students and colleagues.
In the days leading up to her death, Hill’s family believed she was finally recovering.
On October 17, doctors reportedly told them that her esophagus appeared to be healing. However, her condition suddenly worsened, and she went into cardiac arrest as medical staff prepared to transfer her. “As they were trying to get her ready to transport her, they lost her pulse,” Hunter said.
Hill’s family previously filed a civil lawsuit against Hacienda Las Margaritas, which was settled confidentially earlier this year, according to their attorney.
Following her death, the family is renewing calls for accountability and public awareness.
“The number one thing we really want at this point is for people to be aware of what happened at that restaurant and to quit supporting them,” Hunter said. “We want them to be held accountable for taking my daughter’s life. It might have been a long fight, but ultimately, they are the cause.”
The restaurant has not issued a recent public statement regarding Hill’s death. In a 2023 social media post, management wrote:
“We have never walked away from responsibility and will continue to support them in any way possible while our insurance company is on the case.”
Local officials confirmed that Elgin Police requested assistance from OSBI, and investigators are now reviewing evidence related to the original 2023 incident and Hill’s recent death.
In a statement, Elgin Public Schools expressed deep sorrow over Hill’s passing, describing her as “an Owl through and through” and asking the community to keep her family in their thoughts and prayers.
Hill leaves behind her husband and young child, as well as a community still reeling from a tragedy that began with what should have been an ordinary night out.
