Two teens are dead and two were injured after a shooting Wednesday at Antioch High School in Nashville. The Associated Press reports that Solomon Henderson, a Black 17-year-old student at the school, shot and killed Josselin Corea Escalante, who was 16 and Hispanic, in the school’s cafeteria, before turning the gun on himself. Henderson's online writings reportedly included dozens of pages of racist ideologies and calls for violence. The Tennessean reports that although the school has an AI-powered weapon detection software installed on cameras, the system did not detect the gun. The district has invested more than $1 million in the software since February 2023.
