The gunman in a deadly shooting at Antioch High School on Wednesday morning has been identified, with the 17-year-old having fatally shot one student and injuring another before turning the gun on himself.

Teenaged Solomon Henderson, the shooter, entered the cafeteria after arriving on the school bus and confronted 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante, Metro Nashville Police confirmed.

He fired multiple shots, wounding Escalante and another student, before turning the gun on himself.

While two school resource officers were present in the building at the time, they were not near the cafeteria when the shots were fired.

Escalante and Henderson both died from their injuries. The second injured student, a 17-year-old male, sustained a graze wound to the arm. He was treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and later released. Another male student was taken to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt with a facial injury from a fall, not a gunshot.
