Authorities said his injuries were reported to be non-life threatening. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. While there, he told officials a vehicle pulled up by his, and someone started shooting. He did not give a description of the vehicle or the shooter.
Officials said Buchanan added he does not want to help in prosecuting the shooter.
