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

Police said a male student shot two people at the high school on Wednesday morning before turning the gun on himself.

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.

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

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

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

School threats are on the rise after a Jan. 22 shooting left two dead, including the shooter, and one injured at Antioch High School. It's been a little more than a week since 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante was killed and a 17-year-old classmate was injured after another 17-year-old boy opened fire and later shot himself in the school cafeteria,

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.
