Juvenile court records of Antioch school shooter released
News 2 previously tried to search for answers into the Antioch High School shooter's past, but Metro police said certain laws prevented them from sharing those details.
In February, House Majority Leader Rep. William Lamberth (R-Portland) filed a bill that would allow the public to view juvenile records of children who committed a homicide on school grounds and are deceased themselves.

On Friday, May 2, 100 days after the 17-year-old opened fire in the cafeteria of Antioch High School killing a classmate and then himself, a copy of Solomon Henderson's juvenile record was released following a change in state law.
According to the court records, Henderson allegedly pulled a box cutter on another student in October. He was reportedly charged for the incident and placed on probation. The records reveal one of his parents was served probation papers the day of the school shooting.

In addition, back in 2023, Henderson was charged with aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual exploitation of minor. Juvenile court records state that the charges stemmed from an incident where Henderson was 'knowingly and unlawfully in possession of photographic materials that included minors engaged in sexual activity that is patently offensive.'
The IP address used to upload the images and videos reportedly came back to Henderson's residence and a search warrant was executed. During an interview, the 17-year-old allegedly admitted to possessing sexual images and videos of minor children.

In the records obtained by News 2, Henderson was released to a parent following the incident with certain restrictions, which included: 'no use of social media; no access to the Internet & any/all programs; no access to a cell phone or computer.'
However, court documents show he was allowed to use a computer for school and for schoolwork only. It appears that the case was retired after some sort of treatment.

SC first responder community mourns multiple losses in one week
(WSPA) South Carolina's first responder community is mourning after a week marked by the loss of multiple heroes in the law enforcement and fire services. In separate incidents, several current and retired members of fire departments and law enforcement agencies died. A trooper with the South Carolina Highway Patrol died nearly four days after being struck by a vehicle on I-26 during a traffic stop. Trooper First Class Dennis Ricks died Wednesday night, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. 'A graduate of SCHP Class 123 in September 2023, Ricks has proudly served in Troop 7 (Orangeburg, Calhoun) since then,' according to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. 'This is a devastating loss for his family, for those who worked alongside him in Troop Seven and the entire Highway Patrol and DPS family. Our deepest condolences go to his wife and family as they navigate this immense loss.' Ricks was conducting a traffic stop on I-26 at mile marker 166 when he was struck by a box truck around 2 a.m. Sunday, August 9. Authorities said he suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. According to a social post from his wife, he suffered a severe brain injury, bleeding, swelling, kidney bleeding, and several broken bones. His wife, Jade Riley Ricks, described him as 'the kindest, sweetest, most gentle soul.' 'Of all people, my Dennis didn't deserve this… To say he is a phenomenal man and husband is quite an understatement,' she added. Ricks' funeral will be held on Tuesday, August 19, in Columbia, according to SCDPS. A captain with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office was identified as the victim in a head-on collision Thursday night. The Oconee County Coroner's Office announced Friday morning that Captain Steven Henderson, of Spartanburg, died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash reported in Walhalla. The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said Henderson served for over 19 years in various roles throughout the agency. Before beginning his career in law enforcement, Henderson served in the United States Air Force from 1994 to 1998. Henderson also spent a significant time working with the Sheriff's Office K-9 unit and served as an operator on the SWAT team. He received numerous awards and commendations, including the Medal of Valor, multiple Deputy of the Quarter awards, and K-9 Handler of the Year for five consecutive years. 'Steven wasn't just a decorated law enforcement officer—he was a husband, a Pop, a best friend, and a hero to all who knew him,' a friend of Henderson wrote on a fundraiser page. The fire service community also experienced profound losses this week. On Tuesday, the Mauldin Fire Department announced the death of retired Captain Phillip Brown. A Travelers Rest native, Captain Brown served Mauldin for 30 years, beginning in December of 1986 and retiring in 2016. 'We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, especially his wife Barbara and his daughter Christina, as well as to his brothers and sisters in the fire service who mourn this tremendous loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you,' the department wrote in a social media post. Brown's funeral will be held on Sunday, August 17, at 1 p.m. at Shady Oak Baptist Church in Greenville. The procession will follow to Graceland East Memorial Park in Simpsonville. Escorted by the Mauldin Police Department, the city said to expect a large fire department presence along the route, which will follow: West Butler Rd to East Butler Rd East Butler Rd to Bridges Rd Bridges Rd to Bethel Rd Bethel Rd to Route 14 'Selfless and community-oriented, Captain Brown was not just a devoted public servant but an incredible individual whose joy, faith, and wisdom defined every interaction he had and positively impacted all who knew him,' a spokesperson from the City of Mauldin said. The community is mourning the loss of a fire chief who spent more than four decades serving. Chief Mark Holbrook spent 44 years with the Gantt District Fire Department. 'Chief Holbrook's leadership oversaw tremendous growth and progress within our department. His unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our citizens and firefighters has left a legacy that will be felt for generations,' the department said in a post. He was described as a man of great character, who held himself and others to the highest moral standards. 'Chief Holbrook's impact on Gantt District and the fire service will never be forgotten,' the department wrote. The department also shared the passing of retired Lieutenant James 'Andy' Brown this week. Brown served the community for nearly 17 years and previously volunteered in Oconee County. 'Lt. Brown will be remembered for his dedication, selflessness, and the countless lives he touched through his service,' the department wrote. 'His contributions to the fire service and the communities he served will leave a lasting mark.' These men, through decades of dedication, compassion, and sacrifice, exemplified what it means to serve. Their legacies live on in the lives they protected, the colleagues they inspired, and the communities they forever changed. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Pitt Meadows Secondary teacher charged with child luring, child pornography offences
A high school teacher in Pitt Meadows, B.C. has been charged with multiple child exploitation-related offences, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service. Court records show 30-year-old Lovesh Ramsaha has been charged with four counts, including internet luring of a child under 18, making sexually explicit material available to a child, making child pornography and distributing it. Ramsaha had been teaching at Pitt Meadows Secondary. The prosecution service said the alleged offences occurred between August 2024 and February 2025 at or near Pitt Meadows. In a statement to CBC News, Ridge Meadows RCMP said they launched an investigation in February after receiving a complaint regarding alleged sexual offences involving a local teacher. Because the suspect was in a position of authority, police said investigators acted quickly and worked with the school district to take appropriate steps. Pitt Meadows Secondary principal Colin Sharpe informed families in a letter Friday that Ramsaha had been removed from his teaching duties "as soon as the district became aware of the allegations." CBC News has obtained a copy of that letter. "Please be assured that the safety and well-being of our students is always our highest priority," the letter said. The B.C. teacher registry shows an "undertaking not to practice" was placed on Ramsaha's file in March. Few other details have been released due to privacy reasons and pending criminal charges. CBC News has attempted to contact Ramsaha but has not heard back. Ramsaha is currently not in custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 21 in Port Coquitlam, B.C.

Japan's brokerage industry aims to identify accounts owned by phishing scammers, after fraudulent trades worth more than $4 billion rattled the nation's stock market. A Japan Securities Dealers Association panel is looking to start discussions on whether and how member brokers can identify and act against offenders' accounts at its upcoming annual meeting, said people familiar with the matter, asking not to be named because the issue is private. The JSDA's Internet Brokers Council, which comprises about 30 of the nation's major brokers, is weighing inviting officials from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and police to hear how they are planning to tackle the problem, they said.
