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.
The MNPD has confirmed that the situation is contained and there is no ongoing threat. A reunification site for parents and students was established at 3754 Murfreesboro Pike, with school buses transporting students to the designated location.
In a statement, Metro Nashville Public Schools assured the community that they are cooperating with law enforcement to provide further updates as the investigation progresses.
“This remains an active crime scene. We will continue to work closely with the MNPD to provide timely updates to families and the community,” the statement read.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has also responded to the scene to assist in the investigation, which includes tracing the firearm used in the shooting.
Authorities urge anyone with additional information regarding the suspect’s actions or the incident to contact the MNPD as they continue their inquiry.
On January 28, 2026, at approximately 3:30 p.m., officers assigned to the Northern District responded to a reported shooting at the Northrop Grumman facility located in the 7300 block of Aviation Boulevard in Linthicum, Maryland.
Upon arrival, officers determined that the scene had already been secured by the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MDTA), who had the suspected shooter in custody.
Preliminary findings indicate the incident stemmed from a dispute between two contracted security guards working inside the facility.
During the altercation, one of the guards discharged a firearm, striking the other.
The victim was identified as 37-year-old Joseph Keith Aman of Baltimore, Maryland. He sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities stated that a third contracted security guard intervened during the incident, successfully disarming the suspect and detaining him until law enforcement arrived.
Investigators confirmed the shooting was an isolated incident and did not involve any Northrop Grumman employees.
There was no ongoing threat to the public or the facility following the incident.
Anne Arundel County Police Department Homicide Unit detectives responded to the scene and assumed control of the investigation.
Detectives conducted multiple witness interviews, while Evidence Collection Unit technicians processed the scene and recovered the firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.
The suspect was identified as 26-year-old Dylan Blake Chandler of Pasadena, Maryland.
He has been formally charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and additional related offenses.

“We are aware of an isolated incident involving two contractors at one of our Baltimore-area facilities. We are cooperating fully with local law enforcement as they investigate the matter. The safety of our employees and contractors across all facilities remains our top priority.”
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
