Bullets fly in Nashville Walmart parking lot
Nashville police say a man first fired several rounds at a woman – before driving into a bystander
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Walmart parking lot in suburban Nashville, Tennessee, descended into the Wild West Monday night, as a man fired several bullets toward a woman he knew – sending her screaming into the store for help – before getting into his truck and nearly running over an innocent bystander.
Nashville police officers responded around 6 p.m. to a "shots fired" call at the Walmart on Gallatin Pike North in Madison, a suburban neighborhood in northeast Nashville – though learned upon arrival that no one had been struck by gunfire. Still, three people were taken to local hospitals.
It started when a man and a woman got into an argument outside.

The unidentified man, who police tell WSMV possibly was having a mental health crisis, fired several rounds at the woman. Witnesses told WTVF that the woman ran into the store for help, causing a scare by frantically screaming that she had been shot. She, in fact, was not struck, police said.
Nashville Fire Department crews also responded to the scene to reports about a potential gunshot victim needing treatment – yet the woman was not wounded, WKRN reported.

The bystander was transported to Skyline Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries.
