A woman arrived at TriStar Skyline Medical Center around 10 p.m. Saturday with a gunshot wound, telling officers that an unknown masked man had shot her. Metro Nashville police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
According to WKRN News 2, the woman was driven to the hospital after being shot. Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Detectives Eye Possible Link to Earlier Disturbance
Detectives are now trying to determine whether the shooting may be connected to an earlier disturbance call, the station's report notes. No other details about that disturbance, or how it might tie into the shooting, have been released. Police said no further information was available at the time of their report.
The case echoes another recent Nashville shooting in which a woman was treated for a gunshot wound after officers responded to a local hospital, as reported by WSMV. In that earlier incident, the victim said she was struck while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle whose driver had just been in a verbal argument with another person, and investigators believed the scene was near the 1000 block of Blank Street. It is not confirmed whether that case is connected to Saturday's shooting.
