NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person is in the hospital after a shooting at a local gas station in Nashville Monday night. Police say several people were involved in a brawl in the parking lot of the Mapco on Smith Springs Road.
At some point in the fight, someone pulled a gun and fired multiple shots. One person was shot while the others made a run for it.
The person shot is a male and is believed to be a teenager due to eyewitness reports, but we're waiting to get that confirmation from police to share their age.
That person was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center in critical condition. The suspect is on the run and is considered armed and dangerous.
Officials are working with Mapco and nearby businesses to find surveillance video that can help in the investigation.
We're staying in close contact with Metro police to provide you the latest updates in the 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.
