ANTIOCH, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three people were injured Sunday afternoon in a shooting at an apartment complex in Antioch — the Baker Station Apartments.
Don Aaron, spokesperson for Metro Police, says the incident was a domestic shooting involving people from Central America. A man who formerly lived in the apartments with a 31-year-old woman came back armed and shot 3 people — 2 women, ages 21 and 31, and a 6-year-old boy.
The man has now been identified as 25-year-old Emilio Lopez.
MNPD says the child is in stable condition and has been giving detectives a lot of their information. The two women who were shot, however, are in critical, life-threatening condition at Vanderbilt.
Shortly after shooting the three people, Lopez shot himself, according to officials. Police are working to identify him. They don't know when he moved out, only that the 31-year-old woman and the man had an estranged relationship.
No one else was injured — the 21-year-old woman has a 7-month-old child who was not hurt in the incident.
This is an ongoing investigation. We will update you when we have more information.
I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
