Officers arrived too late
Shooting at US school: two dead, two injured
At a US high school in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, a 17-year-old shot and killed a student and then killed himself. The shots were fired in the cafeteria and two other people were injured.
According to a police spokesperson, two security officers were in the building, but not near the scene of the crime. When they arrived, the shooter had already shot himself, the spokesman explained.
School was locked down
The school administration immediately initiated security measures. The school was placed on lockdown while a SWAT team searched the building to ensure there was no further danger. Students were bussed to Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital after being released by police, where a reunification center was set up for parents.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee expressed dismay over the events and thanked first responders for their quick action. In a statement, he emphasized that the state's thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the school community.
Memories of shooting rampage at elementary school
The high school is attended by around 2000 students. In late March 2023, a female shooter killed three children, each aged nine, and three adults at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville.
