NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF — Two men are facing charges in connection to a shooting that happened on Vanderbilt's campus Saturday.

Metro Police say 38-year-old Luis Enrique Ramirez Sandoval and 27-year-old Jose Humberto, were construction workers who were hired to do some work near a dorm building on campus.

The two got into an argument Saturday afternoon and then not long after shots were fired at the Sutherland building, and a 19-year-old was shot in the arm. We're told the shooting victim is expected to be OK.

Vanderbilt officers later found and arrested both suspects at the nearby Mapco on 21st Avenue South.

At one point officers reported that five people were in custody and two people were taken to the hospital.

Students don't go back to school at Vanderbilt until next Wednesday, August 21st so the good thing is the dorm was unoccupied when this happened.

As Channel 5 turns 70, we remember 1960s RnB showcase Night Train

For people of my generation, in our younger days we spent part of our weekends watching music shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. That was before the age of music videos. Several years before Soul Train was syndicated out of Chicago, another syndicated R&B show was taped in Nashville at NewsChannel 5. Night Train aired in the 60s and included what may have been the first TV appearance for legendary guitarist Jimmy Hendrix. Forrest Sanders has another great look back at station history.
