Four people ages 14 to 18 were wounded, a 16-year-old girl critically, when shots were fired outside a party in the 2600 block of Jefferson Street early Sunday.

Four young people, ages 14 to 18, were wounded early Sunday when shots were fired outside a party on Jefferson Street in North Nashville. A 16-year-old girl was critically wounded.

The gunfire broke out at 12:25 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, in the first hour after Halloween. Police said at least some of the shots came from a vehicle. That is according to the Metro Nashville Police Department’s release issued Sunday.

The department said detectives are pursuing leads. Its release does not mention an arrest.

Who was hurt

Police said three people were taken from the scene to Vanderbilt University Medical Center:

  • a 16-year-old girl, critically wounded
  • an 18-year-old man
  • a 14-year-old boy

A fourth, a 15-year-old boy, was brought to Nashville General Hospital by private vehicle and then transferred to Vanderbilt. Police said he first told them he was wounded somewhere else, then acknowledged he had been at the Jefferson Street party.

The department did not give the conditions of the three boys and young men. It has not named any of the four, and we do not name them.
