Possible Smyrna Shooting

[soapy]

I heard thru the grapevine that 2 men fighting over a gun, lead (no pun intended) to one being shot.  It happened on S. Lowery St./Enon Springs road.  The "crowd" was gathered across from Hardees in that parking lot between those two commercial buildings.  

I think there is a gun shop in the building on the corner and I think there is either a pawn shop or gun shop in the other building

Yep, police chased one car right by my office in Murfreesboro. A couple guys from work got caught in the middle of it while driving back from lunch.

SMYRNA, Tenn. (WKRN) – A few people were taken into custody in both Smyrna and Murfreesboro after shots were fired between two cars Friday afternoon.

Smyrna police got several 911 calls around 12:50 p.m. that people in two cars were shooting at each other in the area of Regions bank and Wendy’s on Lowry Street.

One of the cars was stopped in Smyrna and both occupants were taken into custody

The second car was pursued for a short time and ultimately stopped a short time later in Murfreesboro on Middle Tennessee Boulevard.

The occupants were also taken into custody and now face possibly charges of fleeing to elude, among others.

Injuries have not yet been reported. The investigation is ongoing.

SMYRNA – No one was injured Friday in a shooting in a parking lot of a strip mall along South Lowry Street at Enon Springs Road, Smyrna Police Department Bobby Gibson stated in an email to The Daily News Journal.

The incident was the result of an attempted aggravated robbery, he added.

Earlier reports led police to believe the incident involved a shootout between two vehicles, but Gibson retracted that initial statement, saying instead “there is no evidence to support that claim.”

“We have determined that only one gunshot occurred and neither vehicle was moving at the time of the shooting,” Gibson said in the email.

Smyrna Police intercepted a vehicle involved shortly after the incident, and the occupants were taken into custody, according to the email.

Murfreesboro Police intercepted a second involved vehicle after it entered their city and those occupants were taken into custody, Gibson stated.

As of late Friday afternoon, Gibson said, “we have placed one person in custody in relation to this incident but are not releasing the identity at this time.

“Other charges are pending in this investigation.”

Gibson said no other information will be available in the case until police are ready to release the name of the suspect.

SMYRNA, Tenn. (WKRN) –
The second car was pursued for a short time and ultimately stopped a short time later in Murfreesboro on Middle Tennessee Boulevard.

I was at the store with my son the other day and there was a Lego set he wanted that was around $70. I jokingly told him he needed to get a job and earn the money to pay for it.

He said "Dad, I'm only 8 years old, I couldn't get a job anywhere."

At the time I agreed with him, but I think a 4th grader could do just fine as a reporter these days.

On the same day this happened, some guy thought it would be a good idea to attack someone, in the police department's parking lot, with an ax.

No one was hurt or shot, but I'm told   :)  , that it was an exciting couple of minutes.

Oh, and SPD also had a pursuit that ended in a crash too. 

 

All these separate incidents happened within about 5 hours of each other.

And people think Smyrna is just a sleepy little town where the police do nothing but write tickets...

Kudos to the Officers of SPD!
