A police spokesman also said it was apparently a bomb. The explosion damaged a building of the AT&T communications company, causing failures in telephone and data connections in the region. The Nashville airport had to temporarily close due to communication problems.
Announcements warned of an explosion
Police Chief John Drake said officers arrived at the scene early that morning after reports of alleged shooting. Then the announcements began, apparently from the mobile home, asking all neighbors to evacuate due to an imminent explosion. A 15-minute countdown began, and in the middle, music came from the speaker.
The six officers at the scene called the police bombing unit and went door to door urging residents to safety. After the countdown ended, there was an explosion, Drake told reporters. It was not initially clear if there was anyone in the motorhome.
Police found human tissue at the scene, which is now being analyzed, Drake said. On the warnings about the explosion, he said: “I do not want to speculate, but one would suspect that this person did not want to harm, but to destroy.”
