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.
