Nashville, Tennessee โ€“ A Black teen radicalized by terrorist propaganda online is responsible for the latest American school shooting. According to reports, the suspect is said to have killed himself during the incident and left behind a manifesto in which he lionized spree killers and thanked a group of unnamed internet “handlers” for his political awakening.

The shooting unfolded at Antioch High School in Nashville around 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday. According to police, 17-year-old Solomon Henderson arrived at the school via bus and allegedly retrieved a weapon from the restroom.

Henderson then reportedly opened fire in the cafeteria, killing 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante and injuring a 17-year-old boy who sustained a graze wound. The victim was treated at a local hospital before being released.

In a press release, Police confirmed that Henderson had been killed in the incident after he turned a firearm on himself and took his own life in the cafeteria.

A student told News 2 that Henderson was “a smart person, top of the class, and generally quiet and reserved.” She also mentioned that Henderson actively participated in the high school’s ROTC program.

According to an Antioch student who shared details with an X/Twitter account covering the incident, Henderson had allegedly been bullied since middle school. While the account is anonymous, the user had correctly identified Henderson as the shooter before it was confirmed by authorities, adding credibility to the claim.

Henderson’s alleged manifesto and myriad social media accounts went viral on Wednesday due to his connections to various extremely online right-wing circles that are often mocked and ridiculed.

Henderson had allegedly posted online under the pseudonyms “RupnowGroyper” and “Prvttyboysexhave,” the former being a reference to 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, a female shooter who recently drew headlines for her own attack at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. On these various social media platforms, Henderson posted about the preparations he was conducting before the rampage.

Henderson posted under the X/Twitter account “@Endingpoint” prior to the shooting, where he not only posted his manifesto but also pictures of himself in the High School bathroom holding a pistol and ammunition directly before the shooting. He also live streamed the shooting on Kick.

Henderson’s manifesto appears to be steeped in irony and saturated with extremist right-wing internet memes. In it, he self-identified as a “N*ggercell,” describing this term to mean an “involuntary N*gger,” and later referred to himself as a “Groyper incel.”

One section of the manifesto, titled “No Lives Matter,” expressed a deep self-loathing, with Henderson stating, “I am ashamed to be black. I feel like shit being a n*gger.” He went on to criticize the state of the Black community, declaring he had no interest in being a “poster boy” for it.

Despite his far-right ideology, Henderson explicitly denied being a “Nazi” and instead wrote, “actual nazis have been dead for 80 years that’s almost a century anyone in the modern world claiming to be a nazi is larper.”

Henderson would also go on to praise several different mass shooters, including Brenton Tarrant of the now infamous Christchurch massacre and Payton Gendron of the Buffalo Tops shooting, referring to them as “Saint Tarrant” and “Saint Gendron,” respectively.

The manifesto also detailed Henderson’s rationale for committing a school shooting, stating that “most of your teachers and classmates are shitskins or other malignancies.” He concluded by expressing his intent to “AN HERO,” internet slang for committing suicide, following the attack.

In the end, he lends thanks to multiple extremist message boards, websites, figures, as well as a mysterious group of “Handlers.” The individuals are not named directly, and it is not currently clear if the Black killer did have actual handlers or if it was a joke.

Henderson does mention Order of Nine Angles (O9A) a satanic extremist group which was exposed by Joseph Jordan as being a FBI honeypot. He also mentions 764 which is an order of nine angles spin-off group that involves social media pedophiles. However, he claims in the manifesto that he is not affiliated with them and that it “is gay and larpy.”

School shootings in the United States have been on the rise in recent years, coinciding with the spread of material glorifying mass shooters across both far-left and far-right corners of the internet. This troubling trend reflects the growing fragmentation and social isolation within American society, especially among an increasingly online youth.

The Antioch High School shooting is part of a recent trend where an increasing proportion of school shooters are non-White or transgender, challenging the long-standing stereotype that school shooters are predominantly White males.

The last school shooting in Nashville occurred at the predominately White Covenant school in 2023 where 28-year-old transgender Audrey โ€œAidenโ€ Hale killed 6 people, including 3 White children.

Her manifesto was later leaked online, revealing a racially motivated desire to murder White children, which authorities attempted to cover up.
