Two teenagers - one of them the assailant - died and two others were injured as a result of a shooting at Antioch High School in Nashville. The shooter, identified as Solomon Henderson, was a 17-year-old student at the school. He killed another student, Josselin Corea Escalante, 16.

Although police are still investigating the motives for the fatal outcome, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Solomon confronted another 16-year-old student in the cafeteria, pulled out his gun and opened fire, hitting and killing Escalante and leaving two others wounded. He then shot and killed himself.

In addition to the deceased, police reported that another student received "a graze wound to the arm." They were treated and released immediately. Another minor suffered an injury to the face but not from a firearm. None of them were identified.

Police investigating "material" circulating on social media that could be related

Drake revealed that officers have found content on social media that could be related to what happened. He said that the police are still investigating and it is too early to give information linking that material to the shooting.

The officer also explained that the 911 calls began after 11 a.m.. When officers arrived at the scene they found the shooter dead.

The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department reported that a team of investigators went to Solomon's home and proceeded to search and photograph it for further evidence.
