Solomon Henderson, Antioch High School shooter’s manifesto leaked
Authorities have identified Solomon Henderson, a 17-year-old student, as the suspect in the Antioch High School shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.
Henderson reportedly live-streamed himself flashing a firearm shortly before opening fire in the school’s cafeteria, a tragedy that left one student dead and two others injured.
The incident, which unfolded on Wednesday morning, resulted in the death of a female student, while another female victim sustained a gunshot wound to the arm.
MNPD reports that the girl has been identified as Josselin Corea Escalante.
A male student also suffered a facial injury, though it was not caused by a gunshot. The suspect ultimately took his own life at the scene.
The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) has confirmed that the shooting was premeditated, with investigators uncovering evidence suggesting the attack was planned.
Witnesses and students have indicated that names were inscribed on ammunition magazines, and suspicious online activities linked to the suspect are under scrutiny.
MNPD has also revealed that Henderson’s manifesto, which has since been leaked, contained disturbing content under the title “The West Has Fallen – Billions Must Die – Accelerate.” In the document, the suspect reportedly expressed extremist views and attributed his radicalization to various online influences, including YouTubers.
Authorities responded swiftly to the scene, securing the school and ensuring there was no further threat to students and staff. A reunification site for parents and students has been established at 3754 Murfreesboro Pike, with buses facilitating the transfer of students to the designated location.
Metro Nashville Public Schools issued a statement confirming the lockdown of Antioch High School and assuring families that law enforcement is handling the investigation. Officials have pledged to provide updates as more details emerge.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has also responded to assist in the ongoing investigation.
As the community mourns the loss of a young life and prays for the recovery of the injured, local authorities continue to urge anyone with additional information to come forward and assist in the investigation.
