Gunman, female student dead, another student wounded in shooting at Nashville high school

(The Lion) — Two students are dead and another wounded after a 17-year-old opened fire in the cafeteria at Antioch High School in Nashville Wednesday.

According to police, the incident took place at 11:09 a.m., and ended with the gunman shooting himself. A female student is dead and another female in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Hospital after suffering a graze wound to her arm, officials said. A male student suffered a facial injury that did not come from a gunshot.

Parents are reunifying with their students at a nearby hospital, instead of picking them up at the school.

Federal ATF officials (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) have also responded to the shooting, WSMV TV reported.

Nashville was rocked by a shooting two years ago when 28-year-old Audrey Hale, a female who identified as a male, opened fire at the Covenant School on March 27, 2023. Hale killed three 9-year-olds and three adults at the Christian school before being shot by police.
