Metro Nashville are investigating a shooting at an apartment building near Downtown Nashville early Monday.

The scene was at The Jeffersonian Apartments on Jefferson Street.

Investigators said earlier in the morning, one person was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound in unknown condition. The person believed to be the gunman remained in a unit of the apartment building and would not come out when police asked. The standoff ended at about 5:00am Monday. 

Investigators said the suspect and victim knew each other. They said the suspect had some sort of mental breakdown, in which he shot his friend. Then, he ran inside the apartment complex.
