Nashville on edge as police hunt 'cold-blooded' murder suspects

Authorities said the pair may be linked to a string of recent crimes, including four attempted robberies and the killing of a man walking to a bus stop.

Nashville was on edge Sunday as authorities searched for what a local police official described as a pair of “cold-blooded killers” who allegedly gunned down two people celebrating a birthday.

Authorities said the suspects in Friday's shootings may be linked to a string of recent crimes, including four attempted robberies and the killing on Tuesday morning of 31-year-old Kendall Rice as he walked to the bus stop to go to work.

“It’s definitely scary,” said Nashville resident Hannah Thompson. “It struck a lot of fear in me and makes me nervous to get home at night."

The Today show was on in the breakroom here at work and they were coving this story. I thought it stragnge that they provided no description of the suspects.

Of course, I know how to interpter the media, and cam eback to my desk to confirm:

Police described the suspects as two black men in their 30s — one of whom has dreadlocks — who were seen in a small Chevrolet.

Just another reason in the long list of reasons to ARM YOURSELF.

In Atlanta, this would be lucky to make "crime report" that passes for morning news. In chi-town, I doubt this would even get any coverage at all - just Rahm Emmanuel's "Business as Usual".

Regarding Chicago, there was a 4 dead person discrepancy between the weekend count in a Fox News article someone posted here, and the Hey Jackass! count, with Hey Jackass! higher. Seemed odd.

Yep. And all most of us would do, in Atlanta, is check our chambers and top off our magazines.

Strange. The other night when this report was broadcast on TV news, it appeared that they were looking for a white man and white woman who did the shootings. No mention that the photos they showed on TV were those who were shot, and NOT the shooters.

>>>who were seen in a small Chevrolet<<<

Obviously more Chevrolet Control Laws are needed.

It was the same on the Today report I saw this morning. For some reason, the pictures of the victims looked like mugshots.

We haven’t checked our chambers and topped off our magazines, together, lately. Wanna remedy that? :)
