At least two students were shot at Antioch high school in Tennessee on Wednesday, police said.
Metro Nashville police said three people were wounded including the gunman, who shot himself. WZTV Nashville, a local news station, reported that the shooting occurred in the school cafeteria.
“A shooting incident is under investigation at Antioch High School. Three people have been wounded, including the suspect, who shot himself,” Metro Nashville police said in a statement posted on X just after 12pm local time.
Metro Nashville public schools alerted the public to the shooting at 11.38am.
“Antioch High School is on a lockdown due to shots being fired inside the school building. Metro Police are on the scene,” Metro schools posted on X.
“The person responsible for shooting is no longer a threat. We will be gathering students in the auditorium and will provide information on reunification as soon as possible.”
The shooting comes less than two years after a former student shot and killed three children and three adults at an elementary school in Nashville. The gunman was shot and killed by police.
