NASHVILLE — The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the FBI, and the ATF are investigating the bombing that shook downtown Nashville on Christmas Day.
The attack occurred at 6:30 a.m. local time when an RV outside 166 2nd Avenue North downtown exploded.
Officers responded to a shots fired call on 2nd Avenue at 5:30 a.m. and upon arrival, heard a warning message being played from the RV, “If you can hear this message, evacuate now. This area must be evacuated now,” a woman’s voice said. Witnesses say there was also a countdown that began for 15 minutes before the blast.
The responding officers called in the department’s Hazardous Devices Unit (bomb squad) to check the RV. Meanwhile, the officers on scene started to evacuate people near the RV, likely saving lives.
The recorded message was captured on surveillance video. Watch below.
