Nashville, Tennessee – The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is responding to multiple shooting incidents, including one that involved police and resulted in a fatality. The incidents have raised concerns over public safety amidst ongoing property disputes and escalating arguments.
The first shooting incident occurred on Friday afternoon at approximately 4:55 p.m. The police received a call about shots fired in the 1100 block of Greenfield Avenue. During this incident, a man wearing a ski mask fired at least two shots aimed at a person who was attempting to serve foreclosure papers. Fortunately, no individuals were struck during the shooting, although the man’s vehicle was damaged. The MNPD is currently pursuing active leads in connection with this case.
Separately, another violent encounter happened late Tuesday night at a Twice Daily Shell gas station located on Whites Creek Pike. An argument escalated inside the gas station leading to one man pulling out a gun and firing shots at another man and a woman. The woman sustained a gunshot wound to her arm but is expected to recover. The male victim managed to escape the situation by fleeing the scene in a vehicle. MNPD later located the fleeing man and arrested the shooting suspect, who had attempted to conceal the firearm in nearby bushes.
In a separate, more serious incident on June 9, a Nashville police officer was involved in a shooting when responding to a call about a distraught man armed with a gun on Hermitage Avenue. Officer Sgt. Robert Weaver attempted to engage the individual, issuing commands that were ignored. The suspect charged towards the officer while brandishing the weapon, prompting Weaver to fire at least two rounds. The individual was pronounced dead later at a local hospital, while officer Weaver was uninjured but reported to be shaken by the encounter. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is actively investigating this incident, and the MNPD is in the process of gathering witness testimonies and reviewing security footage related to the events that unfolded.
These incidents have raised alarm amongst community members regarding the rising gun violence in Nashville. The MNPD is urging anyone with information related to the shootings, especially those that might assist in apprehending suspects, to come forward. In light of recent events, local authorities are reinforcing their commitment to public safety and working diligently to address crime hotspots within the community.
The MNPD continues to remind residents of the importance of vigilance and communication in ensuring safety in the neighborhoods. As investigations progress, further details will become available, and the MNPD is committed to providing updates on developments in these ongoing cases.
