NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man and woman were arrested late Wednesday after a standoff that led to a massive police and fire response in Antioch.
Greenbrier Police asked Metro police officers to help find a woman wanted in Robertson County on felony reckless endangerment and felony evading warrants — and they found the car in South Nashville, according to Metro police.
When officers tried to box in the car, the driver hit two police cars and drove away.
Metro police say spike strips were used on the car. While the vehicle continued to flee, a passenger started shooting in the direction of the police cars following behind. The car was disabled on Rural Hill Court in Antioch.
Ultimately, the SWAT team was called to help. Negotiators talked to the suspects by phone for more than an hour. At about 11:15p.m., Metro Police said the man and woman both got out of the car and surrendered.
The driver was identified as Shamika Jones. Her male passenger was not identified as of Wednesday morning.
According to Metro Police, the suspects will face charges in both Robertson and Davidson Counties. According to Metro Police, the suspects are expected to be charged with aggravated assault for the gunshots that were fired at officers.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
