NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three people were shot and killed in a neighborhood in Antioch Friday night.
Metro police say three Hispanic men were shot and killed at a home on Bart Drive.
After two men and a woman went inside the house around 10:30, police say a several others, who had parked their cars elsewhere, ran inside and shots were fired.
Those responsible for the shooting ran away, and the woman inside was able to escape.
"I would strongly encourage this individual to come forward," said MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron. "We want to comfort her, we want to provide protection, and we want to understand from her what took place."
Police also believe a man riding a bike near the crime was shot in the hip as well, but they're still working to confirm this. They believe the man went back to an apartment complex on Wallace Road before going to be treated at Vanderbilt. They say his injuries are not life-threatening, and police are hoping to talk with him when that's possible.
"It's really traumatizing," said Lydia Hubbell, who lives just next door to the crime scene. "Most of the time it's just dead quiet, so this was really, really shaking everybody."
MNPD hasn't released the identities of the three people killed.
However, they are giving us a look at the car that the woman and two of the victims arrived in. It's a white Honda with a Georgia temporary tag.
A woman inside the house managed to run away. Her whereabouts are unknown & she is urged to contact police. Shortly before the shooting, she & 2 of the male victims arrived at the house in this white Honda displaying a GA temp tag. Have info? Please 📞 615-742-7463. pic.twitter.com/59bsKwHW5a

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.
