CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A man has barricaded himself in an apartment after apparently firing shots in northwest Clarksville, causing nearby apartments to be evacuated.
Clarksville Police have a perimeter established around the apartment building at 375 S. Lancaster Road, where officers are trying to negotiate with the man, according to CPD spokesman Scott Beaubien.
At approximately 12:32 p.m., a 911 call was received reporting shots fired after a projectile entered a downstairs apartment from the unit above. No one was struck. When officers arrived and tried to make contact with the occupant of the upstairs apartment, he barricaded himself inside. CPD Crisis Negotiators are actively working to persuade him to surrender peacefully.
As a precaution, adjacent apartments have been evacuated. There have been no reported injuries.
