Nashville school shooter, Solomon Henderson, [photo], shared a 51-page document before the shooting expressing violent white supremacist beliefs, antisemitism and self-hatred as a Black person, wishing violence on other Black people.

The schoolboy who shot up his high school in Nashville, Tennessee causing death and destruction on Wednesday morning, allegedly wrote that his warped ideology was inspired by Candace Owens before he opened fire on classmates and turned the gun on himself.
17-year-old Solomon Henderson fatally shot Josselin Corea Escalante, 16, while grazing another female student, before taking his own life during the rampage at Antioch High School.
Two other male students were injured in the ensuing melee.
The mass shooting began inside the school cafeteria unfolded at around 11am Wednesday and was partially streamed online.

The 17-year-old shooter was described by classmates as a ‘smart person [at the] top of the class’ who ‘was quiet and kept to himself.’
He was also in the military training program, and may have had at least one ‘prior incident’ at the high school, according to police.
Authorities are now probing a sprawling manifesto allegedly written by Henderson, which they hope will shed some light on his mindset.
Much of the writing reportedly, reveals that Henderson wrote that he was ‘ashamed to be black’, just as he praises the work of Hitler and the Nazis. Photographs have emerged showing the teen making a Nazi salute. 
The heading for one section reads, ‘Is there a particular groups or people that radicalized you the most?’, political commentator Candace Owens is name-checked alongside far-right influencer Nick Fuentes.
‘Candace Owens has influenced me above all each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over the Jewish question,’ the manifesto reads.  

The shooter, Solomon Henderson, photo], struggled with race and racial issues. On Nov 18, he wrote ‘today is a good day to die’ before opening fire on two classmates and turning the gun on himself. He’s seen in photos making a Nazi salute 

Owens is a right-wing commentator who has been accused of downplaying the Holocaust and was previously denied a visa to enter Australia over her comments about Muslims, Jews and her ‘capacity to invite discord’. 
Moments before Henderson struck he posted warnings about his plans on his BlueSky account.
‘today is a good day to die’ adding, ‘I thought someone had found out when I got called to the office but it was just probation officer.
‘We’re good everything will be going scheduled.’
The final entries into the manifesto came on November 18, the same day the Metro Nashville Police Department received a call indicating there was a school shooting at Antioch High School, which they later determined was a hoax.
‘I was so miserable. I wanted to kill myself. I just couldn’t take anymore. I am a worthless subhuman, a living, breathing disgrace,’ the gunman allegedly wrote.
‘All my [in real life] friends outgrew me, act like they didn’t f***ing know me. Becoming me was so f***ing humiliating. That’s why I spend all day dissociating.’
Much of the document deals with his struggle with race and racial issues. It was posted on a social media account linked to Henderson. Furthermore, pages of writings showed a layout of the school, the weapons he wanted to use and his musings on reasons for wanting to commit a shooting.

A manifesto believed to have been penned by Solomon Henderson states that he was inspired by Candace Owens. Henderson reportedly shared a lengthy manifesto online before he opened fire at the school Wednesday morning

Henderson’s manifesto also details his thoughts on Antioch High School, just outside of Nashville, which has a majority of black and Hispanic students.
‘School is a daycare,’ he wrote. ‘It’s impossible for you to actually think. You say things because other people have said it before, then go repeat ad nauseam somewhere else.
‘In school, we’re taught to wake up early, shut up, sit for long periods of hours, do tasks you hate, then repeat.’
The manifesto includes pictures of the weapons he intended to use in the slaying and said he had been advised on how to carry out the attack by others online.

Following in his obvious admiration for controversial figures, the writings also cite Kanye West. He reveals that he prepared for the shooting by playing violent video games and parroted portions plagiarized from writings of other famous killers’
Investigators discovered a Pinterest account linked to the latest school shooter, that features photos of past school shooters, including the shooters from Parkland, Florida, and Uvalde, Texas.
Ultimately Solomon Henderson was among the two people killed during the shocking rampage yesterday. A  17-year-old student who was injured was taken to Vanderbilt University Hospital with a graze wound to the arm but was in a stable condition.
A fourth boy was treated after he sustained an injury to the face during the commotion, but police confirmed he had not been shot.
Survivors recalled the terrifying moment Henderson burst into the cafeteria and began spraying bullets.
