A Mount Juliet man is recovering at a local hospital after an officer involved shooting. Mt. Juliet Police officers responded to a home on the 700 block of Stonegate Drive this morning where a man was threatening to kill himself. Shortly after officers arrived on the scene the man exited his home carrying a handgun. Police say the man then pointed his gun in the direction of an officer and a bystander forcing police the officer to respond fire at the man. The subject was hit and taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
“This is certainly a traumatic event for the injured subject, his family, and the officers involved. Our thoughts and prayers are extended for a quick recovery,” stated Mt. Juliet Police Chief James Hambrick, “Police officers can go through their entire career and never be involved in this type of incident. This is one of the most difficult things an officer has to do.”

Chattanooga festival expands smoke-free zone
May 20, 2013 10:57 GMT
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Many areas of the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga are going smoke-free next month.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/10I2RyA ), a smoking ban that applied to only areas of seating last year is being expanded for this year's event.
Friends of the Festival President Chip Baker saysinforming people of the restrictions will be a process. If someone lights up in a non-smoking area, the smoker will be handed a card explaining the new rules and will be directed to a place where smoking is allowed.
Riverbend will run from June 7-15.
