1 student killed, 1 wounded in Antioch High School shooting in Nashville; shooter dead
One student is dead and another is hospitalized with a gunshot wound following a shooting Wednesday at a Nashville high school cafeteria.
A teenager fatally shot a 16-year-old student and wounded another Wednesday at a Nashville high school cafeteria before fatally shooting himself, officials said.
The gunman, 17-year-old Solomon Henderson, used a handgun to open fire at Antioch High School just after 11 a.m. CT, police said.
The 16-year-old who was killed was identified as Josselin Corea Escalante. A male student, 17, suffered a graze wound to the arm and was treated at a hospital and released, police said.
"The investigation to this point has not established a connection between Henderson and the two shooting victims. It may be that they were struck by his random gunfire in the cafeteria," police said in a statement Wednesday evening.
Nashville Police Chief John Drake said earlier that Henderson was an active student at the school and took the school bus in the morning before later opening fire in the cafeteria.
