Security technology installed after shooting at Antioch High School
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Antioch High School will remain closed for students on Monday after a deadly shooting in the cafeteria on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
When they return Tuesday, they’ll pass through a weapons detection system on loan to the school.
Metro Nashville Public Schools said it is taking immediate action to strengthen safety and security at AHS.
On Friday, MNPS officials began installing Evolv systems. MNPS said Evolv is a weapons detection system and security technology that was temporarily loaned by System Integrations.
Evolv uses sensors and artificial intelligence to detect weapons and other prohibited items quickly. The system will allow students to walk through without removing personal items for fast and seamless entry, MNPS said.
According to MNPS, this technology is used at places like Nissan Stadium to enhance safety with minimal disruption.
MNPS said the systems are being finalized and tested through the weekend.
In addition to the Evolv systems, MNPS also provided staff training.
“We intend for the pilot program to continue indefinitely at Antioch High,” said a spokesperson for MNPS. “This initial pilot will give us data and information to inform future logistical and funding plans for additional security measures at other schools moving forward.”
AHS will remain closed for students on Monday, Jan. 27. Students had planned a walkout that morning.
MNPS said when students return on Tuesday, and for the remainder of the week, AHS will prioritize the emotional well-being of students with grief counseling, mental health supports, restorative practices and community-building activities.
“We will be implementing an alternative lunch plan for students while the cafeteria remains closed for ongoing repairs and reimagining of the space,” MNPS said.
MNPS said additional updates on security will be shared with families in the coming days.

Elected leaders like Mayor Freddie O’Connell also joined Friday’s journey to healing.
Melissa Alvarez-Zabriskie, the founder of the Tennessee Hispanic Action Network was one of the organizers of the event.
“We have two therapists here that speak Spanish. We have a psychiatrist as well. We also have information to be give out to people welcome into to resources that are nonprofit,” she said.
Neumann is grateful for the moment to help those impacted but said we need change to make our schools safer.
“We cannot continue to live like this. These are things that are preventable, things that we can lessen the risks of, and we’ve got to come together as a community,” she said.
Escalante’s funeral service is Sunday at 1 p.m. at Iglesia de Dios Casa De Restauracion, 3302 Nolensville Pike.
The tragic loss of a student from Antioch High School in Tennessee has left the community devastated. The life of the shooting victim will be honored with a funeral planned for this Sunday.The victim, whose name has not been released, was a beloved member of the Antioch High School community. They were described as kind, compassionate, and full of potential. Their life was cut short in a senseless act of violence, leaving friends, family, and classmates grieving.
The funeral service will be held at [location] on Sunday at [time]. It will be a time to remember and celebrate the life of the victim, to offer support to their loved ones, and to come together as a community in the face of tragedy.
In times like these, it is important to come together, to lean on one another for support, and to remember the impact that this individual had on the lives of those around them.

Police called to Antioch High School shooter’s home 4 times, WSMV4 Investigates uncovers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – WSMV4 Chief Investigator Jeremy Finley has confirmed more details involving law enforcement being called to the Antioch High School shooter’s home four times for different reasons since 2021.
WSMV4 Investigates first uncovered that two guns were removed from 17-year-old Solomon Henderson’s home in 2023. A Metro Nashville Police Department spokesman confirmed that the two guns belonged to adults and have remained in the department’s property room since then.
Now, new details have been confirmed as to why those weapons were taken from the home in 2023 and that it was directly linked to a juvenile in the home. MNPD says that they can’t release any more details about why the guns were removed because of “Juvenile confidentiality.”
A report of police responses obtained by WSM4 Investigates shows that officers went to Henderson’s home four times before the shooting between 2021 and 2024. A missing person call was made in 2021, followed by a request for an officer for an investigation in September 2023 (no one was home).
Then, in October 2023, a report of a theft was made and police completed a report. In December 2024, a call was made but police turned back around.
WSMV4 Investigates reports that in Henderson’s online diary, he wrote on Jan. 10, 2025, “I had my house raided once they found a gun it was mine LOL. My dad took the blame.”
We took our findings to psychologist Robert Moore, who completes threat assessments for schools on troubled students.
Moore said the fact that police had to confiscate guns from a trouble student’s home was a precursor for a future disaster.
“If (the guns) were removed because of some tip, or some report, we want to know what else is going on,” Moore said.
WSMV4 Investigates will continue to push for more details as to why the guns were confiscated.

In a recent investigation by WSMV4, it has been revealed that police were called to the home of the Antioch High School shooter multiple times before the tragic incident unfolded. The shooter, who remains unnamed, had a history of troubling behavior that raised red flags among those who knew him.According to reports, police were called to the shooter’s home on four separate occasions, prompting concerns about his mental state and potential for violence. Despite these warning signs, it appears that no further action was taken to address the situation before it escalated into a devastating school shooting.
As more details emerge about the shooter’s past, it is clear that there were missed opportunities to intervene and prevent this tragedy from occurring. The community is left grappling with the question of how such a senseless act of violence could have been prevented.
WSMV4 continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Antioch High School shooting, shedding light on the systemic failures that may have contributed to this devastating event. Stay tuned for updates as we uncover the truth behind this heartbreaking tragedy.

Antioch High School shooter previously attended schools in Montgomery County
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — News 2 continues to investigate the background on the shooter at Antioch High School and what’s being done about security across Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS).
Solomon Henderson, 17, killed 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante Wednesday and injured another student before fatally shooting himself in the head after just 34 seconds, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD).
The MNPD confirmed that in 2023, two guns were removed from the shooter’s home. Police did not say why those guns were taken, only that “the investigation that resulted in the guns being located is protected by Juvenile confidentiality.”
Antioch High School Shooting | Continuing Coverage
Henderson was able to bring a nine-millimeter pistol into the school without alerting AI weapon detection software before firing a total of ten shots within 17 seconds. On Thursday, police confirmed that the gun used in the shooting was purchased by someone in Arizona in 2022, but it was not reported stolen. The question of how the shooter got a hold of the weapon remains.
“We were in ROTC together this year, too,” one Antioch High School told News 2 Wednesday. “He was always top of the class — always doing his work.”
News 2 confirmed that the shooter went to school in Montgomery County, Tennessee before moving to Antioch. A spokesperson for the district confirmed Henderson spent time at Barksdale Elementary and Richview Middle School. He transferred from the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System in the 2020-2021 school year.
Additionally, News 2 reported on allegations that Henderson “pulled out a knife” against another Antioch High School student about a month prior to the deadly shooting. In the days following the shooting, separate and unrelated threats have been made for other shootings across Nashville schools.
“There were some students that also made some threats in the last day or so,” District 32 Council Member Joy Styles said. “They have also been apprehended and charged for speaking out and saying they were going to harm anyone. But I also think it is a delicate balance, right? I think there are some kids wanting attention — their desire may not be to actually hurt someone. It’s their means of a cry out for help. So how do we differentiate between true violence and a need to have some attention?”
In 2023, the district approved a $1 million project to implement an AI add-on to the existing camera network to scan for weapons.
“Do we continue with those cameras?” Styles added. “Do we add some detectors that perhaps are not as jarring?”
MNPS leaders have reevaluated some safety protocols after gun detection did not see the shooter holding a gun. Nashville mayor Freddie O’Connell said Friday that if MNPS decides to approve the use of stationary metal detectors across the district, they would get budgetary support.
Covenant School parent shares thoughts after Antioch High School shooting
“If they determine that metal detectors are an appropriate next step to take here, we will make sure we are in a position to support that from a budgetary standpoint, But I am also going to be driven here by what is the most effective measure for keeping students safe at schools.” O’Connell said.
However, as the conversation continues about school safety, O’Connell emphasized that he is working to ensure safety on a city level.
“Healing will take time and I hope that just as we grieve together as a city, we will heal together,” O’Connell said.

#Antioch #High #School #shooter #previously #attended #schools #Montgomery #CountyAI weapon detection system at Antioch High School failed to detect gun in Nashville shooting
An artificial intelligence-powered weapon detection system failed to pick up the handgun a 17-year-old Nashville, Tennessee, student used in a school shooting Wednesday that killed a 16-year-old girl, officials said.
The software, called Omnilert, failed to detect the gun because of where cameras were in Antioch High School, Metro Nashville Public Schools spokesperson Sean Braisted said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
But the system was activated by police brandishing their weapons during the response to the shooting, Braisted said.
Omnilert connects to the school’s existing network of cameras and uses AI technology to detect weapons, he said, but “in this instance, based on the shooter’s location in proximity to the cameras, it wasn’t close enough to get an accurate read and to activate that alarm.”
Kristi Rainwater kneels in prayer Thursday at Antioch High School.George Walker IV / AP “The location of the shooter and the firearm meant that the weapon was not visible,” said Omnilert CEO Dave Fraser in an email. “This is not a case of the firearm not being recognized by the system.”
Metro Nashville Public Schools Director Adrienne Battle said, “There is not one system that is 100% going to capture everything that a person may have on them.”
Omnilert works by turning security cameras “into life-saving tools, protecting lives while reducing the operational, legal, and social costs of gun violence,” its website says. It helps detect firearms and then triggers immediate alerts.
“These are designed to capture things that are on camera, and so we wanted to have a system that worked on multiple cameras throughout the network. It does work, but it’s not going to work in every instance, in every spot, based on where that weapon might be visible,” Braisted said. “So that’s why we have additional safety and security protocols.”
In addition to Omnilert, the school uses AI systems at the front door, it has security vestibules, and it uses school resource officers.
“It all works together as a system, but one system alone is not going to keep people safe,” Braisted said. “And there’s also just the general public concerns around how a 17-year-old has a weapon.
“I mean, these are questions that are beyond the scope of Metro Schools but need to be addressed by the broader community,” he said. “But we are doing what we can as a district to install and equip our schools with the safety protocols and resources that we can use to be safe.”
The missed detection offers a lesson in the shortcomings of high-tech security solutions — and the risk of relying on them, experts said.
“This highlights the challenges school districts face,” said Donald Maye, head of operations at IPVM, a surveillance technology research company that investigates weapon-detection systems.
“They’ll make these announcements that they’ve invested millions on a solution and then there are still many cases that can occur where the system is not going to be a factor in preventing violence,” Maye said.
Amy Klinger, director of programs for the nonprofit Educator’s School Safety Network, said the most effective safeguards against violence are based on building trust among students, teachers and administrators to share early signs of potential threats — like erratic behavior or troubling social media posts.
“In the vast majority of cases there is something of concern — behaviors, disclosures, conversations, warning signs — that if someone is paying attention you could pick up on,” Klinger said. “If you combine that with technology, great. But you can’t replace it with technology.”
Some have questioned why the school did not use metal detectors. Battle told reporters Thursday that research has shown there are pros and cons to using the detectors.
“There are lots of unintended consequences, mainly when you think about the types of learning environments we want for our students. I mean, the first person we want our students to interact with are their principals and their teachers and their fellow students,” she said.
A motive in the shooting is unclear. Nashville Police Chief John Drake said authorities are looking into “some materials on the internet” believed to be from the shooter, who was identified as Solomon Henderson. He shot and killed himself after the attack.
Authorities said Henderson was an active student. They said he took the school bus before he later opened fire in the cafeteria, killing Josselin Corea Escalante. Another student was wounded when he was grazed in the arm.
Recently, there was a tragic shooting at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee where a student was injured. The school had implemented an AI weapon detection system to help prevent such incidents, but unfortunately, it failed to detect the gun in this instance.This failure highlights the limitations of relying solely on technology to keep students safe. While AI can be a valuable tool in enhancing security measures, it is not foolproof and should not be seen as a substitute for proper training, vigilance, and proactive measures.
It is crucial for schools to have a comprehensive approach to safety that includes regular drills, mental health support for students, and a strong relationship with law enforcement. While technology can play a role in this, it is important to remember that it is just one piece of the puzzle.
Our thoughts are with the victim of the shooting and their loved ones, and we hope that this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of ongoing efforts to improve school safety.
