Antioch High School Shooting
On January 22, 2025, there was a reported school shooting in the Nashville area. The first mergency call reporting gunfire at Antioch High School was reported at 17:11 GMT. This was the first US school shooting of the year, according to a database kept by Education Week, and the first such incident under the new Trump administration.
The police later confirmed that the shooting happened in the school’s cafeteria. The shooter who was confirmed to be Solomon took the bus to the school and went into the a restroom to possibly “retrieve his weapon” before confronting Josselin Corea Escalante in the cafeteria. He fired multiple times kiling Escalante and grazing a male student on his arm who was treated and released from the hospital. He then turned the gun on himself and commited suicide.
Solomon Henderson Manifesto
Prior to the shooting, Solomom uploaded a manifesto to his Instagram account which featured a FAQ-style section which showed his motive. The manifesto makes repeatedly homophobic and racial slurs, along with admiration for other school shooters. It also lays out plans for the shooting of elementary school students.
One of the questions read, “Why did you do this?” Henderson responded, “For your enjoyment. This is my gift to you after years of fed posting, wasting years griefing, yelling ‘ngger’ at the top of my lungs in voice calls to fggot streamers.”
Was there a particular event or personal reason you decided to commit to a violent act?
Yes, I was born f**king the hellhole of LA and lived there for couple years. I won’t very in depth into that, but getting beat by f**king brown people and getting almost robbed fucking spics and beaners. Sh*tskins Muslims touching filthy hands on me. They ruined my fucking life!!!
