ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. (AP/NewsChannel5 ) – A drunken brawl between friends sent three people to the hospital Monday night. The fight involved guns, knives and all happened in front of a Cheatham County mobile home.
Ashland City police said the incident was reported around 6:15 p.m. Officials said Edmond Pinkerton, Donald
Hackett, and Robert Allen were drinking at a home on Bandy Road when they got into a fight. Two of the men who didn't live at the location, left and returned later with a gun.
"My nephew's wife said she was coming back from Walmart and one of the guys had staggered out into the road and was bloody and she almost hit him," said neighbor John Rees.
Communications supervisor Ellen Royal said all three were taken by emergency medical helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Officials said Pinkerton was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the leg.
Hackett and Allen were
stabbed multiple times.
"The suspects, once they fled here they went to the residents on Carlton Road. At that scene we found their vehicle, a truck. There is a lot of blood in there; we also found a shell casing. It seems to be consistent with the shell casing we found here," said Shannon Heflin, with the Cheatham County Sheriff's Office.
All three men remain
hospitalized. Charges were pending.
