News 2 reached out to the theater and although they wouldn’t talk, the company did release a statement saying, “We are grateful for the quick and professional actions of our staff and all first responders in Antioch and Nashville“. So in a short amount of time, that backpack will be detonated by the bomb squad, ‘ Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters. The replica pistols fire plastic or aluminum pellets.
Three people in the theater were treated for exposure to pepper spray.
“And I would also like to thank all the citizens who gathered around us, helped my daughter when we were pepper sprayed”.
Authorities say police are responding to reports of shots fired at a movie theater southeast of Nashville, Tennessee. At the time of the attack on the theater, he is believed to have been homeless, police said.
The gunman has been tentatively identified as a 51-year-old local white male.
Metro police then fired multiple shots, killing him.
A second backpack left at the scene was also deemed not threatening, Anderson said. “If you see someone out of the normal contact the manager and don’t be afraid to let them know”, Smith said.
Officials said the incident “could have been a lot worse”. A man suffered superficial injuries to his shoulder, possibly from the hatchet. Aaron stated the primary name got here in about 1:13 p.m., and that two officers outdoors within the midst of a visitors cease responded inside two minutes simply as witnesses ran towards them. He sprayed pepper spray on at least three people, bruising one with the hatchet, before he was confronted by police. The nearby Ford Ice Center and Global Mall, which is next to the theater, have been placed on lockdown, according to WSMV, Nashville’s NBC affiliate.
Ezell-Harding, a school located on Bell Road, was also on lock down.
The shooting comes less than two weeks after three people were killed and nine were wounded when a gunman opened fire in a cinema in Lafayette, Louisiana.
