NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Since last Thursday, threats have been made to the Nashville International Airport, a police precinct, Hard Rock Café downtown, the AT&T building and two Metro high schools.
Over the weekend, there was a bomb threat and an active shooter threat at the Hard Rock Café and the AT&T building. Both did not lead to anything and were false threats, along with the other newer threats throughout the week.
According to investigators, the threats are likely coming from outside of Tennessee. There have been hundreds of similar threats in other American cities.
MNPD and the FBI continue to investigate and "take all threats of harm very seriously," they said in a statement.
In the heat of yesterday's threat was a wave of fear that went through the hearts of concerned teachers, parents, and their children. TN State representative Bo Mitchell posted to X saying, “I hope my GOP colleagues never have to do what I’m currently doing and that is standing outside of your kids’ school with hundreds of cops and watch a tactical unit assemble.”
Since last Thursday there have been threats of violence to violence to the Nashville Airport, a police precinct, Hard Rock Cafe here downtown, the AT&T building downtown and two Metro High Schools: MLK High and Hunters Lane. Yesterday, one student says she thought she was speaking to her mother for the last time.
"For 10 minutes, we were sitting there nervous and my teacher kept checking to see if there were cops there. That’s when I texted my mom. I told her I was scared, and I love you so much,” said Sophie Powell.
