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.

If you have any information on the car, the homicides, or the woman who escaped, give police a call. You could receive a cash reward.

"It's a tragedy," Hubbell concluded. "It's a tragedy for them and their families, and it's just really sad."
