NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person is dead, and three others are hurt after they were shot at an apartment complex in East Nashville. Details are limited in the investigation, but police said the victims were taken to different hospitals across Nashville.

We're still working to learn their conditions, but I have confirmed that one person has died. The shooting happened just after 8:30 pm Wednesday night at the MDHA apartments on the corner of South Fifth Street and Sylvan Street. Police tell us they found three people suffering from gunshot wounds when they got to the complex.

Police taped off multiple roads to investigate. We're still working to learn if police have any details about possible suspects, or what led up to the shooting.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
