NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Rutherford County investigators have asked the public’s help for information after a gunman fired shots at a car on Interstate 24 near Smyrna.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting happened Monday while the victim was heading towards Nashville in his red, four-door Mazda 3. They said the shooting happened around 5:20 a.m. near the 72-mile marker between the Interstate 840 and Almaville Road exits.
Detective Richard Brinkley said the victim was traveling in the lane closest to the median when someone driving a white car tried to merge into the same lane, and at some point, fired shots at the car.
