NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police said they have a man in custody Thursday night after an 18-year-old survived a shooting on the steps of the WeGo bus station in downtown Nashville.
The shooting happened at 5:50 p.m., and police arrested Kenneth Johnson, 31, in connection with the crime. Police said Johnson dropped his gun after an MNPD officer working at the bus station ordered him to do so.
A drug motive is under investigation, police said. What looked to be cocaine and marijuana were recovered from the scene.
The 18-year-old victim also had a gun and fired. He is in critical-stable condition.
Police said Johnson will be charged with felonies related to the shooting later this evening.
The aftermath of the historic ice storm will be felt for a long time by many, but what looked like a hopeless situation for one small business owner proved to be quite the opposite. This community would not let her fail. Patsy Montesinos shares the story with a truly happy ending.
