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.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
