NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A shooting in a Nashville high school cafeteria Wednesday left a female student dead and another student wounded, nearly two years after another deadly school shooting in the city that ignited an emotional debate about gun control in Tennessee.
A student shot at least two other students Wednesday at Antioch High School outside Nashville, Tennessee, police said. The shooter then shot himself, according to police.
According to MNPS Spokesperson Sean Braisted, metal detectors are not standard at traditional or magnet schools in the district. The only instance they are used is at Alternative Learning Centers, which are for students who have been expelled from school.
One of the 12-year-olds threatened to shoot four of his classmates, the other posted a threat on Instagram and an 11th grader threatened “Antioch part two,” according to police.
The tragic shooting at Antioch High School has sparked concerns over the effectiveness of its AI-based weapons detection system, Omnilert.
