NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Police are responding to a call of an active shooter at the Carmike 8 Cinemas on Bell Road in Antioch.
The incident occurred just after 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Dispatch confirmed three EMS units have been sent to the scene.
Witnesses at a nearby business reported one person covered with blood.
Check back to WSMV.com and Channel 4 News for updates.
Officer took the gunman down after he opened fire at the officer...
Threat is ended.
Gunman had two back packs they’re checking now.
Had 2 backpacks they are checking
A hatchet, well how will the media explain that one..BAN HATCHETS..for the children!!
I always wondered what an INactive shooter looks like.
I envision cops driving down the street, seeing him, and continuing on, saying “oh, that one’s not active”.
Yep, gun free zone for sure.
Carrying one backpack into a theater is suspicious, let alone two. Who needs a backpack for a movie? Why do they allow that?
Can only link to the local liberal newspaper, but it says policy tweeted shooter is dead.
Suspect may have left a backpack inside the theater that police are checking.
Extra police patrols have reportedly been assigned at Bellevue 8 movie theater across town.
Local businesses in immediate area on lock down.
SWAT team is on the scene.
Antioch is the butt-crack of Davidson county.
Congratulations to the Officer! Any word of casualties?
When I go to the movie theater(During the day) sometimes I see people walking in with backpacks, no one even bothers to look(Normally the ones wearing the backpacks are young people) I get it if they just came from school and want to check out a movie, but otherwise yeah I would think its strange(Unless they are sneaking in snacks, heck I used to do that)
“That (Southeast Nashville) used to be a nice area but now it’s been taken over by the Mexicans.”
Should have elected Trump mayor.

There’s awesome ethnic restaurants in Antioch!
Is it a “Gun Free Zone”?
None except the shooter.
It’s getting irritating how these things are now “active shooters”. The last “active shooter” was a bank robbery. But bank robbery doesn’t let people wring their hands about all our crazy people with guns.
First report I have seen, no futher data developing...
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
Shooter had “sandy hair”; this is an early report though for whatever that means, early 30s.
