NASHVILLE, Tenn. â A Metro Nashville Police officer was injured while responding to a reported active shooter at home in South Nashville. But police say it was a "setup," and when officers arrived, the suspect opened fire on officers.
Police and fire crews were called to the 7200 block of Sugarloaf Drive for a report from a man claiming his brother had shot his mother and that the gunfire was continuing.
Three officers knocked on the door, but when they began to enter the home, the caller opened fire, injuring Officer Brian Sherman, according to MNPD Spokesman Don Aaron.
