One student is dead and another is hospitalized with a gunshot wound following a shooting Wednesday at a Nashville high school cafeteria.

The shooter, a 17-year-old student, fatally shot himself after firing multiple shots at Antioch High School just after 11 a.m. CT, police said at a news conference. The shooter was armed with a pistol, authorities said.

A female student suffered a graze wound to the arm and is in stable condition at the hospital. A male student was also treated for a facial injury, but was not shot.

Antioch High School is located east of Nashville:

Antioch High School is home to approximately 2,000 students in grades 9 through 12, according to its website. The school is located Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, about 10 miles southeast of downtown.

There's video from the scene and while it doesn't show anything you can hear several shots being fired and then someone says "He shot himself."

I'm seeing some additional claims on X about the identity of the shooter but I'm not going to post them yet because nothing has been confirmed. Authorities also haven't said anything about a possible motive yet but it has only been a few hours so that's not surprising. 

I'll update this post later in the day once we know more. For now, he's the latest update from police.
