'This was a ruse to get police to the house.' Metro Officer shot in 'setup' at South Nashville home

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Metro Nashville Police officer was injured while responding to a reported active shooter at a home in South Nashville. But police say it was a "setup" and when officers arrived the suspect opened fire on officers.

Police and fire crews were called to the 7200 block of Sugarloaf Drive for a report from a man claiming his brother had shot his mother and that the gunfire was continuing.

Three officers knocked on the door, but when they began to enter the home, the caller opened fire, injuring Officer Brian Sherman, according to MNPD Spokesman Don Aaron.

Officers retreated from the home. The gunman, 22-year-old Salman Mohamed, followed them outside. Aaron says officers attempted negotiations with him, but they failed. Mohamed died when he shot himself in the driveway of the home.

I know 30 years ago stuff like this happened and we’d never hear it, but it’s so awful hearing stories like this.
