Jeff covered this earlier today. A lot has happened, which is why it got buried, but the media is bound to truly suffocate since it’s a school shooting that cannot be weaponized against Republicans. It’s an awful story: a student opened fire at his school, killing around 11:15 AM local time at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee:

At least one student was killed after being shot in a Nashville high school cafeteria on Wednesday. Another student opened fire, striking and killing a female student and injuring one more victim before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.
A spokesperson for the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department (NMPD) told Townhall that the agency received a call at about 11:11 am from Antioch High School reporting the shooting.
The caller said a student shot two other students in the cafeteria, injuring them. The gunman then turned the gun on himself. The authorities have not yet provided details on the nature of the injuries the two students sustained during the incident. However, the spokesperson said, “the situation is contained right now.”

Two others were wounded in the attack. The shooter has been identified as 17-year-old Solomon Henderson, who later committed suicide (via WSMV4):
The Metro Nashville Police Department has released the identity of the shooter and the 16-year-old girl killed in a shooting inside the cafeteria of Antioch High School on Wednesday morning.
MNPD reports that the girl has been identified as Josselin Corea Escalante and the 17-year-old shooter as Solomon Henderson.
“The 16-year-old girl who was fatally wounded in the cafeteria of Antioch High School this morning is identified as Josselin Corea Escalante,” MNPD said. “The 17-year-old shooter who killed himself is identified as Solomon Henderson, who was an active student at Antioch High School.”
Not that it matters, but in the liberal media world, black shooters are dismissed in these heinous crimes for obvious political reasons. The legacy press lusts for these shootings to be committed by white males with red hats. That’s not the case for Henderson. Check out his purported writings that were discovered by authorities (via NewsChannel5 Nashville):
Pages of writings from the alleged shooter at Antioch High School showed a layout of the school, the weapons he wanted to use and his thoughts about why he wanted to commit a shooting.
The Metro Nashville Police Department identified the shooter as Solomon Henderson, 17. He is accused of killing Josselin Corea Escalante, 16. MNPD Chief John Drake said in an afternoon press conference that there were materials on the internet the department was looking into as part of the investigation.
[…]
In his writings obtained by NewsChannel 5 Investigates, Henderson showed a layout of Antioch High School, photos of a handgun, a lock picking kit and cartridges to load the handgun. He wanted to livestream his attack in the cafeteria. The writings were connected to a social media account that was purportedly Henderson's. He posted the writings on the account before the shooting in the cafeteria.
In one of his first sentences, Henderson wrote he "was ashamed to be Black." He was anti-Semitic in his writings and posted a flyer from the Goyim Defense League, which is a neo-Nazi white supremacy group that visited Nashville this summer.
[…]
His writings showed that he had been thinking about violence for a few months. He wrote his final remarks on Nov. 18.
"I was so miserable. I wanted to kill myself. I just couldn't take anymore. I am a worthless subhuman, a living breathing disgrace. All my (in real life) friends outgrew me act like they didn't f—ing know me. Being me was so f—ing humiliating. That's why I spend all day dissociating."
Henderson's writings also showed a photo of The Covenant School shooter who died in 2023 after attacking the private Christian school. Three children and three staff people died that day in addition to the shooter.
He wrote he didn't intend to kill law enforcement and that he didn't consider himself the victim of bullying.
We’ll keep you updated, but black Nazis cannot be weaponized to attack Trump or push a gun control narrative, so expect this story to once again be buried by the media.
I think the whole “incel” thing is basically pretty stupid. But, in this instance, we have 17-year-old who is being classified as an “incel”. Ummmmmmmmm. How many 17-year-olds are basically “involuntarily celibate”? The answer is: “a lot”.
By all means, blame mental illness, or blame various aspects of our debauched society. But “incel”, at that age? That’s a stupid bit of name-calling by the press.
Why does it matter? It’s just tossed around for political points after the internet decides which team the shooter was on.
No pragmatic proposals enacted /enforced by either side.
Someone posted his rants the other day right after the shooting. I’m sure its been scrubbed from the original source by now. Anyone? Bueller?
Did his mother put him in day care at 6 weeks? If so he had heavy likelihood of suffering from terminal grief
It's like preteen boys bragging to each other about how much they're "getting it" when everybody knows it's a lie, but nobody wants to be man enough and admit to their peers that they're all lying.
His writings were correct. He is, I mean was, a worthless piece of shit. World is better off without him.
This reminds me of the DC sniper......fbi profile was a 45 year old White guy (of course).
Turns out they couldn’t have been more wrong.
And yes, we will hear very little of this particular tragedy as it fails to fit the “White people are all evil” narrative.
Here is a 2 minute skit from The Onion about how virtually 100% of 13-year-olds are having sex “all the time”.

Publik Skool students killing other Publik Skool student.
I wonder what the “teachers’ union” thugs think about that.
“Teach your children well....”
It has already disappeared down The Memory Hole..............
Did I also read that the metal detectors at this school had been disconnected?
“...metal detectors were pulled from Antioch High School because they had “unintended consequences.”
Hilarious!
The commies already dropped the story the second the name of the perp was released
If I had to guess, I say that black students were getting flagged more often than white students. The racist metal detectors had to be disconnected.
I haven’t looked at the article, but my first thought is that the boy perp wanted to be a girl. These people are a violent bunch.
Dang, I’m hardly ever wrong.
It should not come as a surprise that many young blacks have low self esteem, a low opinion of their own abilities and potential,and ultimately a belief that they are of little value to the world.
To push their racist identity politics and keep blacks in line democrats have lectured generations of blacks that they are less capable than others and that they cannot have much of a life on their own without government help and handouts.
The message from democrats to young blacks is that you are second class humans.
Who wouldn’t be discouraged being brought up to believe that about yourself?
Where did a 17 year old get a handgun. There ought to be some law to prevent that.
Oh wait.
Never mind.
