NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Brentwood Police Department said Friday that it closed an investigation into the shooting death on Lost Hollow Drive in February.

On Feb. 26, a neighbor shot Julian Porter, who was the primary suspect in the stabbing case of his mother. Police said the neighbor wasn't able to stop Porter from stabbing his mother.

That's when the neighbor intervened with a gun, shooting Porter several times.

Detectives with Brentwood’s Criminal Investigation Division presented their findings to the grand jury. The grand jury ruled that no crime was committed by the neighbor, allowing BPD to officially close the investigation.

His mother told NewsChannel 5 said a change in his medication and dosage brought on the psychosis. She gestured, holding her hands up to stop the knife attack.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
