NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A police-involved non-fatal shooting at the JC Napier homes in Nashville is under investigation.

A 21-year-old armed fugitive tried to break into his estranged girlfriend’s apartment, the Metro Nashville Police Department said in a social media post early Tuesday morning.

Police were called and MNPD said the 21-year-old shot at the first responding officer.

The officer then returned fire, striking the man in the leg and hip, according to MNPD.

A staging area has been set up at a gas station on Lewis Street where MNPD is expected to provide an update on the investigation.

This is an evolving story.
