NASHVILLE -- An explosion shook the largely deserted streets of downtown Nashville early Christmas morning, shattering windows, damaging buildings and wounding three people. Authorities said they believed the blast was intentional. The FBI is leading the investigation.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said the 6:30 a.m. explosion was believed to be "an intentional act." Police earlier said they believe a vehicle was involved in the explosion. Aaron said three people were taken to area hospitals for treatment, although none were in critical condition.


The FBI will be taking the lead in the investigation, said spokesman Joel Siskovic. Federal investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also on the scene. The FBI is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for investigating federal crimes, such as explosives violations and acts of terrorism. Investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also on the scene.

Hopefully the maker of the bomb met his maker.

Just read this and started working through the who and why if it. Given the area targeted I’d first think it’s directed toward the Mayor’s tyrannical power trip. Was detonated at a time where fewest number of people if any were in the area so goal was just property.

Leads me to a right leaning individual who thought they were bailing out the business owners via insurance claims since they were going to struggle staying open with this Mayor.

Again... just a brain exercise and could’ve been ANTIFA only they’d want people to pay a price. Foreign influence would want a death toll.

Was close to the AT&T building so may have been directed at them. Really to soon to say but the media and their Democrat masters will say it was a Trump supporter or gun owner.

Police had been called for a suspicious vehicle. Then supposedly shots fired. I’m wondering if someone detonated earlier than they originally wanted because their vehicle had been discovered?

Mods I missed this when I posted my thread. Only thing additional was that it was a parked RV that exploded.

I'm guessing with the FBI in charge, it will be "white supremacists" that did it.

Does that damn Mcvay have any crazy relatives?

We should really ban car bombs.

When I heard it was detonated after police arrived at a shots fired call...

I pray for the families that lost loved ones on Christmas morning. And I pray that this does not escalate tensions higher than they already are on our already devided country.
