NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police say four juveniles are in custody after shooting at officers in a Metro undercover car and an airborne helicopter.
Don Aaron, Spokesperson for Metro Police, said an undercover detective was near Haven Apartments when they heard gunshots from a Red Dodge nearby. The undercover officer then followed the car, and the four individuals inside began shooting at the undercover car, which was hit twice before the Dodge took off.
The Dodge later hit another car and spun off, and the four individuals inside ran into the nearby neighborhood for cover. Aaron said that's where the heavy police presence was — including a Metro Police helicopter and a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter. They found the four suspects in a wooded area off Millwood Drive at Murfreesboro Pike, where they quickly surrendered.
We were told that no one was hurt in the shooting.
The juveniles are all being interviewed in custody as of Monday afternoon.
I grew up in a small town with a small-town newspaper. Those reporters know the town perhaps better than anyone – the town officials, the high school superstars, the troublemakers, the difference makers. Forrest Sanders brings us a beautiful story about life and death and the enduring legacy of a small-town reporter and his written words.
