School Shooting in Nashville: A Deadly Day and Unanswered Questions

On Wednesday, Nashville's Antioch High School witnessed a tragic event that left students and staff in shock. Solomon Henderson, a 17-year-old student, opened fire in the school's cafeteria, killing one of his classmates, Josselin Corea Escalante, and then taking his own life. The shooting spree lasted only 17 seconds, with Henderson firing 10 shots from a 9 mm pistol. Investigators are now digging into the shooter's online writings, which analysts describe as disturbing and filled with racist ideologies. The gun, bought in Arizona, is still under investigation. Nashville schools are facing questions about their use of AI-powered cameras for detecting weapons and the lack of metal detectors, especially after recent student arrests for carrying guns to school. Meanwhile, state lawmakers remain steadfast in their refusal to consider meaningful gun control bills, focusing instead on increasing school security. Josselin's father, German Corea, shared fond memories of his daughter, highlighting her dreams of becoming a doctor and her love for singing and smiling. The shooting has reopened wounds in the community, which experienced another school shooting not long ago.
