Investigation underway after man opens fire in Nashville Kroger parking lot

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Metro Nashville officers are investigating an incident at the Kroger in Germantown.

Officers responded to 800 Monroe Street around 3:30 p.m. in reference to a shots-fired call, according to dispatch records. Police said Friday afternoon a black SUV pulled up in the parking lot and started firing with a rifle at a man on foot. The man on foot was able to return fire with a pistol. It’s unclear what the men were fighting about. Police recovered shell segments from a rifle and pistol at the scene.

“It’s troubling that people would come to a parking lot and carry out their dispute,” MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said.

No shots were fired inside the store, according to Aaron. The investigation is ongoing.
