At least 3 people were injured Wednesday in a shooting at Antioch High School outside of Nashville, Tennessee, officials say.
“Three people have been wounded, including the suspect, who shot himself,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said.
Metro Nashville Public Schools added that the school is on lockdown “due to shots being fired inside the school building.”
“Metro Police are on the scene. The person responsible for shooting is no longer a threat,” the district said. “This is an active crime scene and investigation. We will work with the MNPD to provide further updates as they become available.”
