The 17-year-old male student Solomon Henderson who fired multiple shots inside the Antioch High School killing a 16-year-old female student and then himself left a disturbing online trail, police said. A nearly 300-page document posted in X has several selfies of the shooter with various alt-right paraphernalia scattered between statements against “race mixing”, wish to take revenge on society, statement praising Adolf Hilter. The document which is being seen as the killer’s manifesto has explicit photos from previous school shootings.
“Social media accounts linked in the document and scattered across many platforms including X, Kick, TikTok and more focused heavily on “groyper” content — a nickname used by many online white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups — as well as “incel” content, a name referring to young men who claim to be “involuntarily celibate” and espouse incredibly violent misogynistic views,” The Tennessean reported.
In the same document, updated four hours before the shooting, the writer expressed dismay at having to “speed up” an original plan to commit the shooting on Thursday, and said their goal was to kill “at least 10 people,” alongside a specifically targeted elementary school teacher who was not named, the report said.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said the shooter was a “self-loathing incel”. “What happens on the incel forums … is that people of color are told the only reason they’re incels is because of their color and so it pushes them toward other extreme ideology that he apparently took on,” ADL representative Carla Hill said.
Other materials tied to Henderson obtained by the station included a layout of Antioch High School, photos of handguns and cartridges to load the weapon.
“I was so miserable. I wanted to kill myself,” he also allegedly wrote at one point.
“I just couldn’t take anymore. I am a worthless subhuman, a living breathing disgrace. All my (in real life) friends outgrew me act like they didn’t f**king know me. Being me was so f**king humiliating. That’s why I spend all day dissociating.”
