An explosion shook the largely deserted streets of downtown Nashville early Christmas morning, shattering windows, damaging buildings and wounding three people. Authorities said they believed the blast was intentional. The FBI is leading the investigation.
The police came across a suspicious RV parked outside a nearby AT&T building near Second Avenue and Commerce Street before 6 a.m., when initially responding to calls of shots fired in the area, said Metro police spokesperson Don Aaron.
There was no immediate evidence of any shooting but officers alerted the department’s bomb squad, which was en route when a “significant explosion” happened about 30 minutes later, Aaron said.
Just before the blast, officers were conducting door-to-door checks in the area and redirected a man walking his dog along the street. The force of the explosion knocked an officer to the ground. Three people were hospitalized with injuries, police said.

Aaron said it was unclear if anyone was inside the RV when it exploded.
Another video that was sent to us a few moments ago shows the exact moment of the explosion.
What is striking was the vehicle with the bomb is warning through horns that the area had to be evacuated.

Betsy Williams, the owner of the Melting Pot building across the street, told The Tennessean that guests reported the RV was stationed there since Thursday night.
Williams, who lives in a loft apartment on the third floor, said she heard the sound of loud, rapid-fire gunshots at about 4:30 a.m.
After multiple rounds of gunshot sounds, Williams said she called 911.
Then, she said, she heard a repeated warning she said came from the RV parked outside her building.
“Evacuate now. There is a bomb. A bomb is in this vehicle and will explode,” she remembers the recorded warning saying.
Then, she said, the voice started a 15-minute countdown.
Buildings shook in the immediate area and beyond after a loud boom was heard.
Footage from the scene on 2nd Ave North shows the damage that has been done:
President Donald Trump has been briefed, according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere, who said that Trump, who is spending the holidays in Florida, will continue to receive regular updates. The U.S. Justice Department said Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen was also briefed and directed all department resources be made available to help with the investigation.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said on Twitter that the state would provide the resources necessary “to determine what happened and who was responsible. Please join @MariaLeeTN and me in praying for those who were injured and we thank all of our first responders who acted so quickly this morning.”
ATT has holdings with the MSM. Warnings to evacuate to save people from harm; maybe “its” begun.
“The FBI is leading the investigation.”
But will they be able to prove INTENT???
If it was muslims(SPIT!), they’d have blown it during a time of maximum people in the area to inflict maximum death, and never used a warning. Not their MO. I’m guessing ammonium nitrate and antifa/BLM filth.
Big city data centers...windowless monoliths. Many of them exist.
No matter what theism will say it’s white wing extremist!
Lol. I did not even try. But he said if it was true then CNN would show it. He thinks cnn is like fox used to be. I told him what happened and my wife backed it up and he just almost smiled. That let’s me know he heard about it. I just said afterwards all I wanted was a fair election, he agreed. My wife changed the subject. My wife and myself just ignore politics with him because it can ruin relationships. He is happy now cause he thinks his guy is gonna take office. Will update y’all when that don’t happen. I can hear now how the media will say that Trump stole the election. Believe it or not that’s what the media is gonna actually push. LMAO. Sorry but I will laugh so hard when they try to start pushing that. But they will.
The FBI is leading the investigation.
You can spot them easily ... they are the ones wearing the clown suits.
The cold ware era ones are very blast hardened... something the bomber(s) didn't realize.
Hans Gruber?
It still looks like they were targeting the IT equipment in the AT&T building. Who has motive to do that?”

AT&T, IT? Since AT&T only hires Indian H1B scumbags after firing all Americans, a disgruntled fired American worker?
One can only dream.
Therefore, Trump lives in an RV!
Related, worth the read, from someone who says he’s a local...

I’m thinking disgruntled customer.
Exactly my thought when they said they saw nobody in the area.
We never hear the propaganda media describe these animals as “leftwing communist supremists”.
Twitter sources are pointing to SunGuard Data Center on 2nd street. If they took a data center down that will impact disaster recovery for multiple businesses. Backups are stored off site for safety reasons. NO business EVER expects a data center to go down! They count on data centers for their worst case scenario. If this was the target...it was meant to destroy data that was protected.
I’m a 30 second bomb
I’m a 29 second bomb
I’m a 28 second bomb....
bs
A loudspeaker like the ones Mooslims use for their call-to-prayer. I wonder if there is a connection?
A loudspeaker like the ones the NFL uses in their stadiums. I wonder if there is a connection?
C'mon.
