Two shot outside North Nashville market; search underway for gunman – NewsChannel5.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two people were injured in a shooting at the Garfield Market on the 900 block of Jenkins Street in Buena Vista.

Metro Nashville Police officials say they received two shooting calls from that location within just three minutes.

“I was in my bedroom and I heard like several gunshots; and like a half of split second after that I turned around and heard several more gunshots and they were more powerful than the first gunshots,” said Theresa Smith, who lives nearby.

Police said one victim, a man in his 20s, was shot in the left hip and ran inside the store for help. His injury was not life-threatening. The second victim suffered a serious injury in the torso, but is also expected to be OK. This victim ran up the street and called police.

Officers set up two crime scenes because one victim ran inside the market after being hit and the other ran up the road.

Smith says when she looked outside her window from her Cheatham Place home, all she could see was law enforcement racing to the scene.

“I saw all these lights shining, so I lifted up my shades and that’s when I saw all the police cars and the ambulance, and the fire department, and everything out here. So, I knew something had happened out here, but I didn’t know what was going on. “

Police are searching for the suspect, who was a passenger in a red or maroon sedan.
