FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is now facing charges after allegedly opening fire on two Amazon delivery people trying to leave a package.
The incident happened on Tuesday at 321 Ann Crockett Court. Police said William J. Schodowski is alleged to have come out of his home "hollering and screaming."

I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
