A student shot two other pupils in a Tennesse high school cafeteria shootout before turning the gun to himself inside the cafeteria. Antioch High School where the incident took place was immediately placed on lockdown because of the sudden shooting. “The person responsible for the shooting is no longer a threat” the Metro schools district in Nashville said alerting the parents. Police said three people have been wounded, including the suspect who shot himself.
It is not yet known whether any of the three died.
Antioch High School is home to approximately 2,000 students in grades 9 through 12, according to its website. The school is located Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, about 10 miles southeast of downtown.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Tennessee Homeland Security and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have said they also are responding.
