GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Monday night a large police presence was at the Rivergate Mall in Goodlettsville, investigating a call about an active shooter.

A NewsChannel 5 source said the doors were being blocked by police cars and people were walking out of different entrances.

Goodlettsville Police later said they responded to what was only a threat along with Metro Police, and preliminary investigations indicate it was a false call. They searched but could not find anything with an accurate shooter description, believing it to be a hoax.

This club witnessed the early days of the AIDS crisis and decided to do something about it.

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.
