GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Monday night a large police presence was at the Rivergate Mall in Goodlettsville, investigating a call about an active shooter.
A NewsChannel 5 source said the doors were being blocked by police cars and people were walking out of different entrances.
Goodlettsville Police later said they responded to what was only a threat along with Metro Police, and preliminary investigations indicate it was a false call. They searched but could not find anything with an accurate shooter description, believing it to be a hoax.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
