The Metropolitan Police of Nashville specified that the incident took place at Antioch High School. Local news channel News Channel 5 indicated that the incident occurred in the school's cafeteria, where about 2,000 young people study.
The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools board issued a statement highlighting the importance of coming together as a community to ensure the safety of everyone in schools. This situation raises concerns about safety in schools in the United States once again.
So far this year, the country has experienced 12 mass shootings in the first 20 days, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which documents acts of gun violence in the country. A mass shooting is defined as an event where a minimum of four people are injured or killed, excluding the shooter.
