President Obama heads to a Nashville high school Thursday, two days after a student fatally shot a classmate in an apartment building. Grief counselors were at McGavock Comprehensive High School on Wednesday to help students cope with the shooting.
It happened within an hour of the President's State of the Union address Tuesday night, in which he renewed calls to curb gun violence.
Police said the shooting took place at an apartment when 17-year-old Kaemon Robinson was playing with a pistol. It discharged, striking 15-year-old Kevin Barbee in the face. An attorney for Robinson said the teen didn't know the gun was loaded.
It's unclear just how the President would address the shooting in his Thursday afternoon speech to the school.
