South Nashville Kroger Drive-By Shooting Injures 2

NASHVILLE, TN — An apparent drive-by shooting in the parking lot of a South Nashville grocery store injured two people Thursday.

Metro dispatchers received “multiple calls” reporting numerous gunshots around 1 p.m. near the Kroger on East Thompson Lane.

Metro Police said no victims were found at the scene but two people who were apparently injured in the shooting showed up a short time later at Southern Hills Medical Center. The extent of the injuries is unknown.

Photos from Fox 17 show police tape lining the property and a bullet-hole riddled car abandoned in the parking lot.

Cocaine was also found inside a car in the lot, police said.

Witnesses told police that the shots came from a SUV and were fired into a Chevrolet Malibu, leaving its tires flattened. Police are searching for the shooter.
