On June 14, Gallatin Fire and TBI special agents responded to an explosion on Chaffin Court where one person had been injured. According to Sumner County EMS, at the time, the individual that was injured was outside of the structure when it exploded.
Initially, it was thought an accidental leak in a natural gas line was to blame, but then investigators hinted it may have been intentional based on the size and location of the explosion.
