Police said this was not a shoot out — it was one man who got in an altercation and decided to pull a pistol in the middle of the fight.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department is investigating an Easter Sunday shooting that left one dead and several injured.
The shooting took place around 3 p.m. local time at a neighborhood restaurant called “Roasted” during Easter brunch, and a pregnant woman had to be taken to the hospital after having a panic attack.
"A total of eight persons were transported from the scene, one of them deceased, five others confirmed gunshot victims, one other with a scratch, the cause of which we're not sure of at this point, and then one person who wanted to go to the hospital due to a panic attack," Metro Police's Don Aaron said in a press conference.
Police said this was not a shoot out — it was one man who got in an altercation and decided to pull a pistol in the middle of the fight. The gunman arrived minutes before it happened, and Police say they have no indication that the people fighting knew each other at this point.
The suspect fled in a Mercedes GLS 450, according to officials, and detectives are working to determine the motive.
