NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — On Saturday, police say a juvenile was hanging out with friends near Dellway Villa Apartments, building K, and was shot.

East patrol officers responded to a shooting call labeled 816 S 6th street in Nashville Saturday.

The victim said there were five or six men in their 20s playing dice behind building K when they began arguing. Police say the victim then heard two or three gunshots.

The injury was non life-threatening. She was taken to Vanderbilt hospital once she discovered it — police say she didn't realize she was hurt until she sat down and felt the pain.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention.

I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
