Shooting at unofficial after-prom party in East Nashville leaves 1 injured
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — One person ended up with minor injuries following a shooting at a house party in East Nashville early Sunday morning, according to officials. 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.
