Gunmen Crisscross Nashville In Overnight Crime Spree

NASHVILLE, TN -- Four incidents in Wednesday's wee hours - including at least two shootings - may be connected to the same four people, Metro Police said.

At 2:30 a.m. on South Nashville's Glastonbury Road, a woman was robbed at gunpoint outside an apartment complex by three men in gray hooded sweatshirts. The woman told police that after the men took her belongs, they fled in a silver SUV driven by a woman.

At 2:41 a.m., a man reported that he was robbed at gunpoint by two men in hoodies in the 800 block of Murfreesboro Pike, about three miles from the Glastonbury Road stick-up.

At 3:15 a.m., officers were called to the Terrace Park Townhomes on Elm Hill Pike - about seven miles east of the Murfreesboro Pike robbery - where a man said he was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot by three men, who investigators say match the description of the group in the Glastonbury Road robbery.

The man told officers that after the robbery, one of the men walked back to him and shot him in the leg. His injuries are not life-threatening.

The final call came about 15 minutes in the 1100 block of Second Avenue North in Germantown, where a man was found inside a car, shot in the arm. Witnesses told police the car was hit by a silver SUV and then a man wearing a gray or blue hoodie got out of the SUV and robbed and shot the victim.

Metro Police believe all four incidents are connected and continue to investigate.
