CHEATHAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A toddler was shot in the head Monday in Cheatham County, according to officials with the sheriff's department.
The shooting happened in Henrietta on Hazel Drive at a private residence.
The call came in at 2:15 p.m., and the child was immediately sent by a lifeflight helicopter to the hospital in critical condition. He later died from his injuries.
The investigation is active and ongoing at this time and there is limited information into what led to the shooting. We will update as information comes in.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
