Nashville Local Pulse: April 3rd - Arrest Made in Fatal Shooting, Guard Rescues Hiker
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, April third.
We're starting with breaking news out of Nashville Police. Detectives have made an arrest in connection with Thursday's fatal shooting on Harper Ridge Place. Jordan Jackson, twenty three years old, was taken into custody in East Knoxville early this morning with help from the Knoxville Police Department's Special Operations Squad. Jackson is charged with criminal homicide and evidence tampering in the death of twenty eight year old Terry Coleman. Witnesses reported Coleman was involved in a physical altercation with the suspect before the shooting occurred at around twelve thirty Thursday morning. Coleman died at the scene. If you have any information about this incident, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at six one five seven four two seven four six three.
On a more positive note, we saw some heroic action in the Great Smoky Mountains yesterday. A Tennessee Army National Guard helicopter crew conducted a dramatic rescue of a park visitor suffering cardiac arrest near Dillons Gap along Kuwohi Road. The flight crew, working with Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, had the patient airlifted to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville in roughly an hour from the initial call. It's a reminder of how quickly our emergency services can mobilize when lives are on the line.
Looking at your Friday ahead, we've got gorgeous weather setting up this afternoon. After some spotty showers clear out this morning, expect afternoon sunshine with highs reaching around eighty four degrees. We're going to see some gusty southerly winds around twenty to thirty miles per hour though, so plan accordingly if you're heading outside. That warm streak continues into the weekend before a cold front moves through.
For those looking for things to do around Nashville this weekend, we've got some great options. Panda Fest, the Asian food and culture festival, runs all weekend at twenty three hundred Bransford Avenue. Over at the Ryman, cellist Yo Yo Ma is performing tonight at five o'clock. And if you've got young kids, there are Easter egg hunts happening at Lucky Ladd Farms and free admission at the Frist Museum through Sunday.
On the traffic front, good news for your commute. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has halted all lane closure activities through Monday morning at six, so your highways should be running relatively smooth through the holiday weekend.
