Breaking news out of Goodlettsville: investigators are on the scene at the Iowa Beef Processing plant, after an apparent shooting there Monday morning.

SWAT team members and negotiators have been called in.

Employees arriving at work at the plant on South Cartwright Street were not allowed inside. At 6:15 Monday morning, the Goodlettsville Fire Department called Metro and asked for assistance.

Emergency crews reported that one person had been shot five times, and another victim was possibly still inside the plant. After speaking with Goodlettsville police, we now believe there was only one victim involved.

Employees were evacuated from the building and herded outside into a parking lot, but they were not allowed to leave in their cars.

One victim was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt Medical Center. Goodlettsville police set up a road block at the plant gate, allowing no one in or out of the parking lot.

While police are not talking, News 2 has spoke with an employee from the plant who says a man was shot in a locker room inside the plant during shift change, and the gunman was still on the loose on plant property.

Stay tuned to News 2 and WKRN.com for the latest information.

"Someone should have stuck with de-calf."

"De-Calfing" is probably what got the riot started in the first place. Bulls going in, cruuunch, steers coming out.

New Animated full length feature being done on this very topic. It'll be called Bull Run.

I agree - never know what the next post will bring. Lightens my surfing as I seriously read for more terrorists threats.

Why does this always happen on Monday mornings?

Unbelievable! What a cow!!!!

Why does this always happen on Monday mornings?

Hangovers.

[blackdog]

It happens on mondays, because CCW holders are allowed to carry their guns on sundays. Come monday, they have to leave them at home, since employers do not allow weapons in the work place. Shows you that gun laws work, huh?

Why do you assume everyone knows where the h*ll "Goodletsville" is? Next time, please put some sort of indicaztion in the topic, source, whatever, that tells where the heck the story is coming from.

Too many of us are convinced that we live in the center of the universe. Well, none of us do.

N.B.: I'm assuming this is happening near Nashville, because you mention the Vanderbilt Medical Center, but that's deduction. Be explicit.

Godlettsville, IOWA needs a friggin' SWAT Team? Every little tin-pot municipality in the whole US of A has its very own paramilitary units now. Ridiculous. Sheesh!
