Critical

Increased security is almost certain following a shooting incident on the 2600 block of Jefferson Street near the Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tenn., US, on the evening of Oct. 12. It is unclear how many people were shot as of yet. According to authorities, two suspects who are armed with assault rifles remain at large.

Authorities will likely implement increased security measures, such as checkpoints, and may expand security perimeters to facilitate the manhunt and detain the suspects. This will almost certainly prompt transport and business disruptions in the area over the coming hours.

Avoid the incident site until the situation stabilizes. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent any areas subject to heightened security measures and related disruptions. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
