The now deceased gunman accused in the deadly shooting Wednesday morning at a Nashville, Tennessee, high school has been identified.

Metropolitan Nashville police identified 17-year-old Solomon Henderson as the shooter at Antioch High School. Henderson, who was an active student at the school, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after shooting two other students.

Joseelin Corea Escalante, 16, was killed in the shooting and a 17-year-old boy sustained injuries to his arm after being grazed by a bullet. He has since been treated and released from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to police.

White House officials said President Donald Trump and his team were aware of the incident and offered “heartfelt thoughts and prayers” to those impacted. They also thanked “the brave” first responders who responded to the incident.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee also thanked first responders for how quickly they arrived at the school.

“As we await more information, I join Tennesseans in praying for the victims, their families & the school community,” Lee said.
