CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — On Saturday afternoon, Police in Clarksville say there was no active shooter at Governor's Square Mall. However, there was a shooting that took place outside the mall according to witnesses.
Law enforcement agencies responded to the scene around 10:50 a.m., and Police then confirmed the shooting was on the perimeter road around the mall, not inside. The investigation that followed suggests the shooting was not a random act, but was an isolated incident between two different parties.
Officers did still clear out the mall so that they could do a protective sweep throughout the entire place, making sure there were no victims or suspects inside. Employees and shoppers were allowed back in at 1:42 p.m. after the sweep was complete.
According to police there are no confirmed victims.
Detectives are still investigating what happened in the perimeter parking lot, and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Henry at (931) 648-0656, ext. 5343. Or, you can be eligible for a reward or remain anonymous by calling the Clarksville Montgomery County Crime Stoppers Tipline: 931-645-8477, or going online and submitting a tip at P3tips.com/591.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
