Flowers and stuffed animals are seen at a memorial for victims of a shooting at Antioch High School, Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn.
Yesterday, a 17-year-old Antioch High School student shot two other students and then himself. The assailant and one of the other students died. Another was treated at an area hospital and has been released. This is the second time in two years that there’s been a fatal school shooting in Nashville.
It seems that everyone can agree that no child should experience the terror of a school shooting, nor should any family experience the pain of an unimaginable loss; we just can’t agree on how to get there. Today, we’ll get an update on the circumstances surrounding yesterday’s tragedy. And we want to hear from you. What do you think can be done?
