SWAT Officer Fired After Fatal Shooting | Nashville News
Description
Nashville’s police chief has fired a 12-year veteran SWAT officer, Joshua Baney, after he fatally shot Jason Sexton during a tense standoff—Sexton was reportedly wielding a sword and holding a woman captive in his car. Body cam footage shows Baney firing three shots within seconds after being told to block Sexton’s vehicle. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now investigating this shooting—and two other recent fatal shootings across the state: one in Coffee County where a man stabbed a deputy with a machete before being killed, and another in Montgomery County where deputies shot a suspect after a high-speed chase involving a rifle. All cases are under active review as authorities probe multiple officer-involved incidents.
