Antioch, a growing and diverse area of Nashville, has endured other prominent shootings in recent years. A 2017 fatal shooting at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ killed one woman and wounded seven people. And in 2018, a shooter killed four people at a Waffle House.

Police said the suspect sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound and the school district said Antioch High School is on lockdown.

A female student has died and another student was wounded in a shooting Wednesday morning at Antioch High School in Nashville, a police spokesman said. The female student was killed when a 17-year-old student armed with a pistol fired multiple shots in a school cafeteria at 11:09 a.
