"One point I want to stress is the area has been secured and there is no threat to our community," Councilman Cortese said in a statement.
Active leads are being pursued — at this time we do not have any more information.
This is a breaking news situation and we will update you as soon as we hear more from officials.
Amidst their own grief and facing hatred these gentlemen worked to save lives. Forrest Sanders brings us a history lesson that's ripple effects are still evident across Nashville.
