Must have been a long time ago. I lived in Nashville for most of the 2000s and I would never go to the Hickory Hollow Mall unless I absolutely had to. Totally gang-infested.

I go back so far that 100 Oaks was the mall and where Hickory Hollow is was still uninhabited farmland. People of my era still think of Rivergate as the "new" mall.

As FReeper TNMOUTH rightly pointed out, Antioch/Tusculum and that Nolensville Road area has become the United Nations and that's a bad thing since --of course -- diversity is perversity. I call it the M&M part of Davidson County for the messkins and mooselimbs, both of whom utterly ruined what was a nice part of town in the 60s/70s.

Here's the head-scratcher for me. Nashville newspaper, The Tennesssean, is reporting that this "gunman's" gun has not yet been located. I quote: "The man, who has not yet been publicly identified, had a backpack strapped to him. Police believed he also had a gun, although Nashville Metro Police Chief Steve Anderson said they had not found a gun at the scene as of about 6 p.m."

So, WAS he a shooter or not? If the call that an active shooter came in at 1:13 p.m., but the police haven't found his gun inside the theater by 6 p.m., what the crap? I have to believe at this point the "gunman" didn't have a gun. http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2015/08/05/dispatcher-active-shooter-reported-antioch-theater/31171021/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin=

Poor media, you could tell they wanted SO badly for this to be another madman with a gun attack..they kept on asking the cops “What kind of gun was it?” Notice they never asked “What kind of hatchet was it?” Just like with the Santa Barbara shooter, he killed three men with a knife but the media never focused on that, like those men never existed, it was all about the mean mean gun..oh and Vicente Montano doesn’t sound white to me..sounds Hispanic

Media and cops kept on calling him a white male, just like with the marines who were murdered in Chattanooga, first described as a white male, media ran with it, then OOPS a Muslim..OH NOES can’t be true..wonder if this guy was one of Obama’s many DREAMers

So much for the “51-yr-old red-headed, white guy” reports. If it weren’t so sad, it’d be laughable.

"Late Wednesday, police released information describing Montano as a man with a background of arrests and commitments for mental health issues in recent years.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said in a 7:45 p.m. press conference that Montano had been arrested on an assault charge in Murfreesboro in 2004. Montano had been committed for mental health care a total of four times, in 2004 and 2007, he said. He had also been reported as a missing person Aug. 3, Aaron said."

If the gunman didn’t have a gun, then —someone else— did.

No. Neither are they describing him as hispanic. They just say he was identified as Vincente Montano. At first the police were saying he fired at them. Now: ""When he came at them in a threatening manner, they opened fire and the suspect is deceased," the chief said.

He sprayed pepper spray on folks in the theater and cut one guy with the hatchet.
