NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police are investigating two shootings in Antioch in a matter of hours.

One shooting happened on Hickory Woods Drive around 10 p.m. Saturday.

His family is pushing for answers to get justice for their loved one. Police are asking the public to come forward to help in the investigation if they can.

Just hours after that deadly shooting, police were called to another scene just 8 minutes away at the Cascade Apartments off of Murfreesboro Pike. Police say a 25-year-old was found shot and taken to the hospital. The victim was in critical condition but is expected to survive.

Police say they are accepting any tips that could help solve these cases. If you know anything about these shootings, you're asked to give the police a call.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
