NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville police has confirmed no one is hurt nor is there an active shooter Thursday afternoon near the L&L Market in Sylvan Heights on Charlotte Avenue.
NewsChannel 5 has received several calls about the scene, but police report that only vehicles were shot outside the market around 3:45 p.m.
Police said they found shell casings in the parking lot, but no person shooting. At the scene, authorities confirmed that two cars were shooting at each other. The resulting gunfire damaged several vehicles, and the L&L Market evacuated people and cleared the building.
Multiple witnesses reported to police that there were men in ski masks firing guns.
So far, there have been no arrests made in this case.
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.
