A shooting at Antioch High School has left two students dead and another wounded.
The shooter shot two students in the school's cafeteria before turning the gun on himself. One of the students, a female, died. The other student is hospitalized. The shooter is also dead.
Police say the 17-year-old shooter fired multiple shots before turning the gun on himself.

Buses were taking students from Antioch High School to Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital, 3754 Murfreesboro Pike, as they are released from the scene by Metro Police.
Parents were asked to go to the reunification site at Ascension Saint Thomas.
