The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) released a statement emphasizing their commitment to understanding the motive behind the gunfire and providing support to the grieving community.The online writings, attributed to the shooter's social media account, paint a disturbing picture.

According to WTVF, the content is laced with antisemitic rhetoric, revealing the shooter's deep-seated hatred. The writings also included an image of the shooter responsible for the Covenant School tragedy in Nashville in 2023 and expressions of admiration for other mass murderers. Adding to the horror, the attack was partially livestreamed on the platform Kick, which has since taken swift action to ban the account and remove the video. The MNPD stated that two school resource officers, assigned to Antioch High School, were in another section of the building when the gunfire erupted. They responded immediately to the cafeteria, arriving just after the shooter took his own life. Chief John Drake offered condolences to the school community, pledging the department's unwavering support during the healing process.
