The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now investigating a fatal shooting involving a Clarksville lawyer.
Yesterday afternoon Clarksville Police were called to the home of Todd Hansrote on Apple Pond Road after a 911 call where Hansrote threatened to kill himself and his wife. Clarksville officers responded quickly and set up a perimeter around the house. Police spokesman Jim Knoll said officers were familiar with this home and Hansrote was known to have a large quantity of weapons inside.
A tactical team and a group of negotiators were called to the scene in attempt to make contact with the 46 year old male owner. Negotiators say they were able to briefly establish intermittent communications before hearing several shots ring out from inside the home. According to spokesman Jim Knoll, that’s when Hansrote exited the home and began discharging his firearm presenting an imminent threat to both police and the neighborhood. Hansrote shot outside his home and pronounced dead at the scene around 8:15.
The TBI is continuing to investigate. The officer involved in the shooting as been placed administrative per protocol, according to Jim Knoll.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.
The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.
Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.
In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
