Tennessee School Shooter Partially Livestreamed Attack that Killed One

The school shooter who killed one during an attack in Nashville, Tenn. partially livestreamed the attack. That’s according to NBC News.

A 17-year-old gunman, identified by police as Solomon Henderson, opened fire in the cafeteria of Antioch High School on Wednesday. He fired 10 shots from a 9mm pistol. Along with one death, another student was injured the arm.

Henderson died by suicide.

He apparently livestreamed a portion of the attack on the streaming platform Kick. The account that posted the video was banned and the video was quickly removed from the service.

While no motive was mentioned, a statement from investigators said the shooter was ““significantly influenced by web-based material, especially that found on non-traditional sites that most would find harmful and objectionable.”
