After a deadly shooting rocked the community and halted classes at Antioch High School for nearly a week, the return of students Tuesday started and ended the same way — with protest.

Parents, students and leaders express concerns at Metro Nashville Public Schools' board meeting just six days after a deadly school shooting.

As students at Antioch High School return to school Tuesday, many gathered outside in protest with signs demanding safer schools for kids.

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.

School threats are on the rise after a Jan. 22 shooting left two dead, including the shooter, and one injured at Antioch High School.

Antioch High School is reopening its doors to students and teachers starting Tuesday, with a modified schedule to prioritize counseling.

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.

The Metro Nashville Police Department opted to permanently add a third school resource officer to Antioch High School as students return Tuesday.

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