NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three people were shot and killed in a neighborhood in Antioch Friday night.
Metro police say three Hispanic men were shot and killed at a home on Bart Drive.
After two men and a woman went inside the house around 10:30, police say a several others, who had parked their cars elsewhere, ran inside and shots were fired.
Those responsible for the shooting ran away, and the woman inside was able to escape.
"I would strongly encourage this individual to come forward," said MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron. "We want to comfort her, we want to provide protection, and we want to understand from her what took place."
Police also believe a man riding a bike near the crime was shot in the hip as well, but they're still working to confirm this. They believe the man went back to an apartment complex on Wallace Road before going to be treated at Vanderbilt. They say his injuries are not life-threatening, and police are hoping to talk with him when that's possible.
"It's really traumatizing," said Lydia Hubbell, who lives just next door to the crime scene. "Most of the time it's just dead quiet, so this was really, really shaking everybody."
MNPD hasn't released the identities of the three people killed.
However, they are giving us a look at the car that the woman and two of the victims arrived in. It's a white Honda with a Georgia temporary tag.
A woman inside the house managed to run away. Her whereabouts are unknown & she is urged to contact police. Shortly before the shooting, she & 2 of the male victims arrived at the house in this white Honda displaying a GA temp tag. Have info? Please 📞 615-742-7463. pic.twitter.com/59bsKwHW5a

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.
