NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An alleged robbery and then a fire happened back-to-back at a business off of Nolensville Pike.
Metro Police and Nashville Fire departments have launched an investigation.
Metro Police said they were called because a clerk at a clothing store was assaulted, but then calls started to come in for flames coming from the same store.
The suspect, who police are still looking for, allegedly hit the clerk in the head, took the keys to her car, and drove off. She was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital for treatment, but police said there is no word yet on how severe her injuries are.
When crews arrived to the store on Nolensville Pike, just south of Haywood Lane, smoke and flames were coming from the bathroom and venting out from the salon that is next to it.
Multiple businesses in the shopping strip have smoke and water damage.
Other than the clerk, no one else was injured.
Metro Police do not have a description of the suspect who hit the clerk, but if you know anything that can help, call CrimeStoppers immediately.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
