Shooting at unofficial after-prom party in East Nashville leaves 1 injured
The Metro Nashville Police Department said the shooting happened in an Airbnb in the 800 block of Vibe Place, near Trinity Lane, shortly after 12:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 11. An argument reportedly took place at the party before an unknown suspect shot the victim.
Authorities told News 2 that a private vehicle took the victim to Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital to be treated for a graze wound before officers arrived at the scene.
Nashville Rescue Mission says employee injured in shooting
News 2 spoke with Octavius Love, a tourist from Chicago who was renting an Airbnb nearby.
'We actually walked up after it happened because we just came from Broadway,' Love recalled. 'The police were out here and there was yellow tape and everything.'
It appears partygoers may have left a strange array of items behind, including a food takeout bag, healing ointment, a sandal, and a fuzzy boot.
'We're nervous about it, of course, because we just came to visit, and this looks like a nice area, so we weren't expecting anything like this, so it's very concerning to us, for sure,' Love added. 'Maybe they should be careful about who they rent their Airbnbs to.'
News 2 is trying to get in touch with the owner of the Airbnb, but we have yet to hear back. No additional details have been confirmed about the party or the shooting.

MLB suspends Victor Robles 10 games for throwing bat at pitcher
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles was suspended for 10 games after he threw a bat at a pitcher while on a minor league rehab assignment in the Pacific Coast League. Robles was playing for the Tacoma Rainiers when a ball from Las Vegas Aviators pitcher Joey Estes came high and inside. The ball went off the bat, and as Robles twirled around the catcher, he hurled the bat toward the mound. Major League Baseball announced the suspension on Tuesday. Jerry Dipoto, the Mariners' president of baseball operations, told reporters before the team's game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday that Robles was set to be recalled next week but the incident and subsequent suspension changed their plans. He apologized in a post on his Instagram Stories on Monday. "I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my recent reaction on the field," he wrote. "I let my frustration get the best of me, and I understand how that may have affected not just the game, but the energy and respect we all work so hard to maintain. "Coming off a long rehab and being away from the game for most of the season has been physically and mentally challenging. Adding to that, the recent passing of my mother has been incredibly hard, and I've been doing my best to hold it together. That's not an excuse, but some context I feel you deserve to understand where I'm coming from." The suspension will be effective on the first day Robles returns to the team's active roster. He's not allowed to play in any game, including additional rehab games in the minors, once the suspension begins. Robles is appealing the disciplinary action.
