Sword, Hostage, and SWAT in Nashville | Annapolis News
Description
A tense hostage standoff in North Nashville ended in tragedy when a 54-year-old man wielding a sword held a woman captive in his car—prompting SWAT to intervene after hours of negotiation. Officer Joshua Baney fired three shots as he blocked the vehicle, killing Sexton but saving the woman. The incident followed prior threats and outstanding warrants, including a gas station confrontation where Sexton allegedly brandished the sword over coffee. Now, both the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Metro Nashville PD are reviewing the shooting, with Baney placed on administrative leave.
