The suspected shooter who killed one student at a high school in Nashville on Tuesday has been identified as Solomon Henderson, 17.
Nashville police and schools are monitoring social media discussion and concerns Thursday as people speculate if additional schools could be targeted after a 17-year-old student opened fire Wednesday at Antioch High School, killing himself and a 16-year-old girl while injuring another, officials said.
Analysts with the ADL Center on Extremism "have located a manifesto and social media accounts believed to belong to the shooter, where he shared a range of incel, accelerationist, white supremacist, antisemitic & anti-Black content," the organization wrote in a Wednesday post on X (formerly Twitter ).
