Police currently have Interstate 40 near Fesslers Lane [in downtown Nashville] shut down in both directions.
Police say officers are investigating a suspicious vehicle that they believe may have weapons and an explosive device inside. The ATF is also on the scene and police are requesting the bomb squad.
Traffic is backed up in the area so drivers should avoid the area.
Local news says the following: Law enforcement received a "tip" that this vehicle would be coming through Nashville. The interstate is now back open in both directions. It was closed for an hour and fiftenn mintues. Silver Vehicle Man, woman, baby & two other men Cache of weapons including AK-47 and explosive devices. Bomb squad detonated explosives.
Keep us posted!
Any word on where the people in the car are now? Sounds like a really weird deal, but then some people are really weird. :^)
SUV?
Damn Muzzies! Going straight for the country music! Barbarians
"Silver Vehicle Man, woman, baby & two other men Cache of weapons including AK-47 and explosive devices. Bomb squad detonated explosives."
lol Got a adjective on the vehicle but not the perps..
Look out! It's the Silver vehicle man!!

On the serious side.. this can't be good..
I'm at the office, so I'm getting my description via phone. My mom said, "it looks like an SUV."
If it was an SUV, they probably would have included THAT in the report too.
Potentially, trying to rattle us on the way to either the SOTU tomorrow or the Super Bowl Sunday.
As for the lack of adjectives, it's really starting to piss me off!!
Bump for later. Hope all turns out okay.
Hey! I've seen them!
LOL! I was typing too fast and neglected to punctuate!
Try this: Silver vehicle. Man, woman, baby & two other men. Cache of weapons including AK-47 and explosive devices.
Oh dear, my son just back from a business conference in Nashville.
Looks like it might be reopened now?

All's well that ends well...
Nah, local TV news websites are deliberately vague so that you will tune in for "News at 4" (and 6 and 10).
No prob OD, I just was pokin some fun.. and cracking myself up. Easily amused lol.
^^
WHOA.
Yep, I'm hearing that it is. Rush hour will still be nasty due to the backup. I-40 through Nashville is heavily traveled at 3 in the AM much less 3 PM.
