Nashville remains on edge in the aftermath of the Antioch High School shooting last month. Why it matters: School safety is dominating conversations at kitchen tables and in the mayor's office following the city's second school shooting in less than two years.

School threats are on the rise after a Jan. 22 shooting left two dead, including the shooter, and one injured at Antioch High School. It's been a little more than a week since 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante was killed and a 17-year-old classmate was injured after another 17-year-old boy opened fire and later shot himself in the school cafeteria,

A teenager opened fire at Antioch High School Wednesday killing a student and leaving a mourning community that has already seen two mass shooting incidents in recent years.

Police say a shooting at a Nashville high school has left one student dead and another woulded. Metro Nashville Police spokesperson Don Aaron said during a news conference that the 17-year-old gunman later shot and killed himself with a handgun.

Two local students were arrested in unrelated cases for making school threats Thursday. In the first case, Dorrian Harp, an 18-year-old student at Hunters Lane High School, allegedly admitted to telling another student in his class on Tuesday that he would shoot up the school the next day.

Threats against schools and institutions are taken very seriously by the MNPD. Those responsible, once identified, will be prosecuted.”
