Two other students were shot alongside her. One of the two students suffered from a graze for which he was immediately treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>The late student\u2019s father, German Corea was understandably devastated by the loss. He\u00a0said, \u201cEvery day I told her how much I loved her.\u201d Josselin was a soccer played and was a good student. Her father, Corea shared how he never imagined one day his daughter would never make it back home from school, \u201cIt\u2019s not fair,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>Escalante\u2019s aunt is shocked by the loss. She shared how her niece went to school for education and a better life but instead her life was cut tragically short. \u201cOh God. She was my girl. She was a very calm girl and well-behaved. She had good grades in school. She was a girl who loved her parents and all her family,\u201d she\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>Josselin Corea Escalante is now requesting that the school enhance their security measures. They do not believe that much will change, as most\u00a0school shootings\u00a0follow a similar story.\u00a0Antioch High School\u00a0held a vigil in honor of Escalante on the night of her killing.<\/p>\n<p>The shooter was a 17-year-old student of the school. He shot himself in the head and died as a result of the injuries. He was\u00a0identified\u00a0as Solomon Henderson. The two school resource officers who were doing their duty at Antioch High School were at a different part of the building when Henderson began shooting.<\/p>\n<p>When they heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed to the cafeteria and arrived only moments after Henderson had taken his own life. Authorities are now looking into Henderson\u2019s online and social media activity.<\/p>\n<p>They are also working with local, federal, and state agencies to determine the motive behind the shooting. So far the police is unable to come up with a connection between the shooter and his victims. \u201cIt may be that they were struck by his random gunfire in the cafeteria,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0the Metro Nashville Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>Chief John Drake of the Metro Nashville Police Department has also issued a statement which\u00a0said, \u201cOn behalf of this entire police department, I extend our deep condolences to Antioch High students, parents, and staff. Our officers and counselors will work to be part of the healing process in the days and weeks ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adrienne Battle, Metro Nashville Public Schools\u2019 director, also gave her condolences to students, parents, and the entire Antioch High School community. She announced that school would remain closed for the rest of the week so students and staff would have some time to grieve.<\/p>\n<p>She\u00a0said\u00a0in a statement, \u201cI want to thank the school staff who quickly and heroically followed emergency protocols, potentially preventing further harm, as well as the Metro Nashville Police Department and Nashville Fire Department for their swift and urgent response.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-facebook wp-block-embed-facebook\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NickBeresNC5\/posts\/pfbid037zmyr4EoavH2KJ45NwopKzz1ZMjAvLmv2DLJjfELzdPvBTjLiKajqTGzH3qzHQfXl?ref=embed_post\" data-width=\"640\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/graph.facebook.com\/100044302692250\/posts\/1155812129238866\/\"><p>HEARTBREAKING.
