Jelly Roll Visits His Alma Mater Antioch High School to 'Comfort' Students One Month After Fatal Shooting

After a tragic and fatal school shooting, Jelly Roll is supporting his alma mater.

The country star paid a visit to Tennessee’s Antioch High School to meet with students on Feb. 25, over one month after a student shot two classmates before turning the gun on himself, resulting in two deaths and two additional injuries, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Metro Nashville Public Schools shared photos from Jelly’s visit in a Feb. 26 post on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Music superstar @jellyroll615 visited @antiochbearshome on Tuesday to talk to students and staff about the tragedy that took place there last month.”

The caption continued, “Thank you, Jelly Roll, for reaching out to the Antioch community and offering some comfort during a difficult time. We appreciate your support!”

MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron previously told reporters a 17-year-old male student, armed with a handgun, opened fire in the school’s cafeteria at 11:09 a.m. and hit two students, with one of them, a 16-year-old female, succumbing to her injuries at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

MNPD identified the 16-year-old female as Josselin Corea Escalante on X.

The gunman, whom MNPD identified as Solomon Henderson, then turned his weapon on himself.

The other wounded student had his arm grazed by a bullet, while another male student was also at Vanderbilt with an injury to his face, but it did not appear to be from a gunshot wound.

Jelly previously went back Antioch High School in May 2024 and shared a video shared to TikTok by his wife Bunnie Xo, who said he was once told he’d “never be allowed back” during his time as a student.

“They told my husband he would never be allowed back into his high school when he was younger,” wrote Bunnie of the “Need a Favor” singer, who’s been to jail around 40 times for various drug charges and was first arrested at age 14.

“Last week I got to watch him walk the halls again, perform & be welcomed by the kids & teachers,” said his wife. “The love and giving back that they showed my husband was the sweetest thing ever to watch.”

Bunnie continued, “But most importantly the smiles on those kids faces was priceless [sic] & what I truly needed in that moment. Thank you Antioch High School students & staff for the warm hug we needed that day. Go Bears!”
