A Christmas morning explosion that rocked downtown Nashville, injuring at least three people and damaging dozens of buildings, is believed to be an intentional act, authorities said.
According to police, officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department were responding to a call of shots fired around 5:30 a.m. CT Friday when they came upon an RV parked in front of an AT&T transmission building at 166 2nd Avenue North.
The RV was playing a recorded message that indicated a bomb would explode in 15 minutes, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said during a news conference Friday.
Officers saw no immediate evidence of shots fired but they requested the department's hazardous devices unit and started to evacuate neighborhood residents, police said.
The bomb squad was responding when the RV exploded at 6:30 a.m. CT, police spokesman Don Aaron said.
"We do believe this to have been an intentional act," he said. "Significant damage has been done to the infrastructure there on 2nd Avenue North."
Three people were transported to hospitals from the scene, but none were in critical condition, according to Nashville Fire spokesman Joseph Pleasant.

Christmas morning explosion rocks downtown Nashville
Domestic terrorism. Foreign terrorist doesn’t give you 15 minutes warning.
Perhaps cover up of election fraud.
No terrorist does…
If all stage the power want sacrifices to maintain their elites positions aka the god of this planet
@Free HongKong bullshit..a bunch of teenage skinny jean looters couldnt pull this off…sounds more like a certain group isn’t standing by anymore
It wasn’t terrorism of any kind. It was a depressed person trying to blow up the AT&T building, and kill himself at the same time.
What kind of animal sets off a bomb on xmas day unbelievable humans
@Thomas Armsworthy Jr they wouldn’t warn anybody
@Free HongKong the proud thugs did it.
@The Truth Is Out 777 and Never bombed the place.its the work of the alt right KKK hateful nut jobs.
@The Truth Is Out 777 when that ever happened.never is when that happened.now Trump people.yes.
@Truth 4tufftimes said the proud thugs. With there guns.
Sounds like a test run…for a more deadly future event.
Correct there testing there bombs 💣
Come on now, no accident that it was outside an AT&T centre. Somebody had a serious misunderstanding with AT&T for sure. No need to look for more than that.
Whyyyyy?
Trump
Can ask proud boyz to help and avenge
“Domestic Terrorists”, this is just a dry run for something bigger planed which may be in a different state.
“Intentional Act”? It’s called terrorism.
@R G actually not all the time
@pr0xZen however literally we don’t know why warnings were playing but what that effectively does is it makes people fearful which is just another term of terror
@winesap2 both sides a guilty of the same stuff Peaceful protests the hunter biden laptop all suppressed by left wing media and not to mention Russia gate all four years of it
@Joe Smith now what you stated is actually very debatable because let’s say someone was on top of a roof wanting to jump the people on the street would be fearful, scared or even terrified for that person which would effectively become an mode of terrorism even if it wasn’t said persons motives
THE SILENT GENT Islamic terroism which is what I believe thier acting like would not announce they were gonna bomb something before they bombed it because the more casualties the better it worked for them. That’s like them telling us they were gonna crash into the twin towers before they did it. Yes that is considered a form of terrorism your correct but I don’t think that’s the what this lady commented about originally.
this sounds like an episode of Criminal Minds or CSI— wth is going on with this world??!
Criminal Minds had a similar plot a while back, sans the loud speaker. It was all linked to a plot to kill a foreign leader in a US hospital. Harrowing at the lengths people will go to, to have their way. There’s a reason somewhere. I hope aothorities figure it out and stop the bigger plans.
The world is fine, its just America 🙃
Somebody’s been watching too much of either show.
@Loki Styrbiorn no, it is not just america that’s in chaos, unfortunately

AT&T pissed off employee.
Suspects -> who are the people who are particularly upset right now since the election results. 😉
@H P I would say blm isn’t organized enough to do a thing like this
@Saint Scanderbeg I know you are a little too slow since you seem to be a cultist, but BLM got the thieves, the domestic terrorists are all yours.

“Believed to be intentional” with a recorded warning playing for 15-30 mins prior.

The didn’t want to hurt know one sounds like just wanted to blow a building up . I know I live in close to Nashville still don’t have cell phone service at&t customers don’t Verizon customers have service
The warning was to lure people outside. What kind of monster does that?
🥴
” INTENTIONAL ACT ” Is this the phrase that replaces DOMESTIC TERRORISM ?
Fascists behind this, they mourned about Trump. Vengeance time…
Fiery, but mostly peaceful terrorist act. 😂😂😂In avoiding to use the right words, the MSM is accomplicit of this.

@Saint Scanderbeg BLM ANTIFA TOGETHER
@US-Zionist Rusty leave us alone 😫. We condem these kinda of act. With no evidence you blame us
me: can 2020 get any worse?
2020: challenge accepted
We all have to get out of the habit of looking at the calendar for hope.
The WORLD is f**ked. We need to all make concerted efforts to fix it, irrelevant to date.
2021..”you aint seen nothin yet”
Yeah, I’m having a good time celebrating Christmas that I just searched “Christmas” and this is the first thing I see. I mean, at this point the year’s probably doing this on purpose.
Uoh wow
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
It seems to me someone is saying ” I can touch you…” Which means the next time there may be casualties
I think Millie was inferring another person— not negating those crimes 😏
Check your government first before pointing to other nation, remember 911 Afghanistan has nothing to do with it.
I guess the dude who made it was someone against our shitty government.
@US ARMY l u cannot do anything about it it’s controlled by lobbyists no matter who u vote for
Whoever is behind this, they are testing the public’s reaction.
@Alan Sams same could be said about left lol
The proud thugs.
@Mansfield they never blow up nothing.not one bomb. Now look at these Trump supporters.nut jobs.its time to release the u s military on these nut Jobs.
Why ? Whats the conection ?
President trump can help his people?
Just when I thought Christmas would be the one normal day
**Laughs Nervously from the stress and craziness this year**
This seemed like a test run for something bigger by domestic terrorists, possibly trying to keep Trump in power.
@Ooga Booba The city doesn’t matter. It’s about the purpose of the bombing. It looks like they wanted to knock out AT&T communications in the area and they succeeded.
@Ooga Booba He wants his base to be in fear of an attack. So they will support him when he imposes his martial law.
@shao Or they’re trying to give him justification to declare it in the first place. Time will tell. Hopefully police will figure it out quickly.
Where is your evidence of that?
You guys are crazy, or propagandists.
“Intentional act”? No! Domestic terrorism!!!!
Don’t they need a political motive for it to be considered terrorism?
@Saint Vanu MAGA, maybe?
@Aleksandar that’d be my first guess, but if it was they didn’t really try to make their message clear
Exactly Tim Turko!
Believed to be an intentional act? Oh you don’t say lol
Honestly, this 15 min warning is such a Joker thing… I’m convinced we are stuck in “2020 – the supervillain movie prequel / origin story”.
This looks like a test run for something more serious in the works.
This is a follower of a derranged lunatic narcisstic satanic and demonic lososer
This is blackmail! Give me power or get hell ! Give him power and hell will stay as part of life
@Trace McSorley Yes. It’s a threat without terms, which is also what makes this infuriating, because it really takes no sophistication to do this kind of thing. Just a hate and cowardice most people don’t have.
Why ? Thats how crazy conspiracy theories start. This could be just 1 crazy man. No proof of anything deeper. Lot of crazy bad stuff have happened only because 1 and only 1 person got crazy in the head.
Your comment seems like a test comment for a future comment that will be less obvious
It’s funny how everyone is blaming the right wing for this without any proof lol
