A shooting on Herman Street in Nashville sent police to the scene early Monday morning, with no injuries reported as officers worked to piece together what happened. Metro Nashville Emergency Communications reported the shooting at around 7:57 a.m., and investigators had released few details in the hours that followed.
Police Working Scene With Limited Information
According to WZTV, the Metro Nashville Police Department was investigating the scene on Herman Street after emergency dispatchers logged the report Monday morning. The outlet noted that no injuries had been reported as of its article's publication, though officers were still gathering information at the scene. A photographer for the station was on site as the investigation unfolded, and few other details had been released publicly.
Monday's incident remains a developing story, and the station's report did not include information about a suspect, motive, or weapon involved. Nashville's broader firearms data, tracked through the city's online dashboard, aggregates gun-related crime reported to police — including fatal and non-fatal gunshot injuries, stolen and recovered firearms, and firearms-related arrests, per Metro Nashville’s data dashboard.
Street Has Seen Violence Before
Herman Street drew attention in August when 16-year-old Cameron Frierson was fatally shot near 25th Avenue North, according to WSMV. That outlet reported witnesses told police the shots in Frierson's killing came from a white sedan with tinted windows. It is not established whether Monday's shooting is connected to that earlier case.
In the months since Frierson's death, Metro Nashville Police announced arrests tied to that case. A statement attributed to the department said a six-week investigation by the MNPD Homicide Unit, with assistance from other police department components, resulted in the arrests of four teens for the August 21st murder of Cameron Frierson on Herman Street. Monday's shooting remains under separate investigation, with police continuing to work the Herman Street scene as the morning's events are sorted out.
