SMYRNA, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is looking into an officer-involved shooting that happened Thursday morning in Smyrna.
According to the TBI, Smyrna Police officers responded around 11:30 a.m. to a reported road rage incident in the 200 block of South Lowry Street.
Preliminary information indicates the situation escalated during the encounter and an individual reached for a weapon, prompting two officers to fire their weapons, striking the person.
The individual was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities said no officers were injured.
TBI agents are now working to independently determine the sequence of events, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Investigative findings will be shared with 16th Judicial District Attorney General Jennings Jones, who will review the case.
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.”
