NASHVILLE, Tenn. –  Authorities in Tennessee say at least six people were injured in a shooting at a church in the Nashville area.

Nashville fire department spokesman Joseph Pleasant tells the Tennessean newspaper that at least six to eight people were hurt and were being transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center. The nature of the injuries weren't immediately known.

A dispatcher quoted by the newspaper said that the scene was still "active" at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ as of 11:40 a.m. Sunday.

It kind of freaks me out when I spend some of my free time keeping up with Nashville Real Estate and schools in case I could one day move your way. Here we know it isn’t safe. I guess I expect too much to think anywhere is safe.

I imagine CNN/MSNBC/NYT/WaPost reporters are crestfallen it was not a white male Trump supporter with a confederate flag tattoo...

Though he has a Christian sounding name...I guess will never know the real motive...

He’s black and from Africa so he can’t be a racist committing a hate crime/ S

It’s not bad where I live. I’m between Knoxville and Chattanooga and we are very conservative. Stay away from Memphis and some places in Nashville, even though Nashville is fairly conservative compared to other big cities. Almost everybody here is a permit holder and criminals know that. One of our bad spots is where the Mosques went in. They aren’t in my area though. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Blacks from all places appear to be in an uproar though you never can tell what for as it changes every day. If you ask what they want they give you a mixed bag of complaints most of which have zero merit to consider as they can’t define any solution other than ore handouts in one for or another....others are still angry Hillary lost...refugees are ad because we want the to go home...and the list goes on and on.

Trump is right again!

Remember, he placed the Sudan on his list of 6 nations to come under his original high-vetting/no-entry original travel ban....and he's still taking holy hell from it.

And guess where this murdering terrorist is from???

On what appears to Samson’s Facebook page, a series of posts were made just prior to the attack on the Churchgoers: “You are more than what they told us.” – “Become the creator instead of what’s created. Whatever you say, goes.” – “Everything you’ve ever doubted or made to be believe as false, is real. & vice versa, B.”

Exactly.

I like to know how he got into this country. Some of us have tried to find out who was responsible of approving admitting the Boston Marathon bombers and their family (they even got assistance at taxpayer expense) but haven't found anything.

There are mosques (Islamic centers) all over this area. Sometimes they are using old church grounds as there are less parishioners around.

We do like the Nashville area. We are used to the choices and conveniences of a big city. Especially with one child with special needs it becomes a must. I wish I had bought 3 years ago when I was looking at properties in Nashville. Everything has doubled since then. And the new builds have gone halvsies in property size.

This is going to end up 'self-loathing gay gymrat' a la Bryce Williams, with the Sudan semi-Mooselimb angle adding the half-rotation to the 4 1/2 pike...

The only thing that's going to stop this shit is a series of knights packed and stacked that stream their defense of the innocent, where the Williams and Kidegas are visually represented as hideous outcasts, taken down by the righteous...

I like to know how he got into this country.

I'm curious about immigration status and history as well.

Also would like to know who are his influences including online search history, his known associates, and religious adherences.

."David... vs.. Goliath Story!..

Hero Robert Engle, 22, had ran up to confront Samson and was pistol-whipped by the shooter, There was a significant struggle between the two,' 'During the struggle, the gunman shot himself, probably not intentionally.' Then Robert went to his vehicle, got his gun, ( has a handgun carry permit) came back inside and made sure the gunman didn't make anymore movements until the police department arrived.'
