NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police are investigating after a man was robbed while trying to sell a firearm from his Nashville home Friday afternoon.
Metro Nashville Police said Midtown Hills officers responded around 4:55 p.m. to a home on Elaine Drive.

The suspects were described as a Hispanic man and a Black man.
MNPD's robbery unit was called to the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
