Investigators say the gunman who opened fire at a Nashville, Tennessee high school on Wednesday, killing one female student and injuring another student, was “under the influence” before turning the gun on himself, according to reports on social media. Most will find it harmful and objectionable.”
On Wednesday, Metropolitan Nashville Police said 17-year-old Solomon Henderson was wounded after the Antioch High School shooter killed 16-year-old Jocelyn Coria Escalante and shot a 17-year-old student. The latter was treated and released from the hospital.
Police said in a news release Thursday that the investigation into the school cafeteria killings revealed that Henderson fired 10 rounds from a 9 mm handgun within 16 seconds of entering the room.
Police said the handgun was loaded with nine rounds when found by detectives. A magazine loaded with seven rounds was also recovered from the cafeteria floor.

Before entering the cafeteria, the investigation found Henderson went into a nearby restroom, where he posted photos on social media.
Police previously believed Henderson took the bus to school Wednesday, but confirmed his mother drove him to school.

When detectives searched Henderson’s residence, they were unable to find any other weapons or guns.
Although no weapons were found, investigators have since found two documents they believe were created by Henderson on non-traditional websites – one 51 pages, the other 288 pages.

Documents and other evidence found at the residence are being closely examined by homicide detectives, as well as investigators from the Special Investigations Unit and the FBI, police said.
“It is clear that Henderson has had a significant impact on web-based material, particularly the majority of content found on non-traditional sites that are harmful and objectionable,” police said.

Additionally, it was determined that the gun had been purchased by an individual in Arizona in 2022 and had not been reported stolen.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is helping police determine how Henderson got the gun.
