1. A Nashville-based healthcare company has reported that sensitive patient information has been unintentionally released due to a security breach. HCA Healthcare announced the incident on Monday, Jul. 10. The company confirmed that patient names, addresses, birth dates, email addresses, and other information was released. However, information such as patient social security numbers, payment information, and clinical information was not released. (WSMV)
2. A woman has been charged after her three-year-old daughter was found wandering outside on Sunday, Jul. 9 in East Nashville. Officers responded to calls from Duke Street about a little girl walking alone outside, and when they arrived, the girl led the officers back to her home. Officers waited over an hour for the child's mother, Victoria Miranda, 26, to arrive. Miranda was charged with felony child neglect, arrested, and released shortly after. She gave permission for her child to leave with family members, and the Department of Children's Services was alerted. (WSMV)
3. Police are investigating a shooting in East Nashville that left 68-year-old Thomas Roberts dead. The incident occurred on Sunday, Jul. 9 around 8:00 p.m. When officers responded, Christine Roberts - the victim's wife - admitted to shooting her husband because he had cheated. Officers recovered a pistol and booked Roberts into the Metro jail on charges of criminal homicide. (WKRN)
