An explosion shook the largely deserted streets of downtown Nashville early Christmas morning, shattering windows, damaging buildings and wounding three people. Authorities said they believed the blast was intentional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said police were responding to a report of shots fired when they encountered a recreational vehicle blaring a recording that said a potential bomb was to detonate in 15 minutes. Police evacuated nearby buildings and called in the bomb squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cShortly after that, the RV exploded,” Drake said at a midday news conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Surveillance video published on a Twitter account today that appeared to be recorded from across the street captured an audio recording that included the warning, \u201c… if you can hear this message, evacuate now.\u201d The blast was captured on the surveillance video seconds later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Metro Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said three people were taken to area hospitals for treatment, although none were in critical condition. Authorities don’t know whether anyone was in the vehicle when it exploded, however.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Aaron said earlier that some people were taken to the department\u2019s central precinct for questioning but declined to give more details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The FBI will be taking the lead in the investigation, said spokesman Joel Siskovic. Federal investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also on the scene. The FBI is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for investigating federal crimes, such as explosives violations and acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At noon, police dogs continued to search cars and buildings in the nearby area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Philadelphia man staying in a nearby hotel said that when he heard the blast, he was knew it wasn\u2019t a harmless noise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt was a very loud explosion,\u201d said Joseph Fafara. \u201cWe tried to rationalize it that it was an earthquake or something. But it was obvious it wasn\u2019t an earthquake.\u201d He said he traveled to Tennessee with his family on Christmas because the state has looser Covid-19 restrictions than Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fafara went outside to look at the damage but police barricades had already been put in place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Black smoke and flames were seen early Friday billowing from the area, which is packed with bars, restaurants and other retail establishments and is known as the heart of downtown Nashville’s tourist scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Buildings shook in the immediate area and beyond after a loud boom was heard. An AT&T facility was among the buildings affected. Some service was interrupted, the company said via Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cService for some customers in Nashville & surrounding areas may be affected by damage to our facilities from the explosion this morning. We are in contact with law enforcement & working as quickly as possible to restore service,” the company tweeted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some police agencies are reporting that their 911 systems are down due to the AT&T outage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMurfreesboro\u2019s 911 lines are currently down. AT&T is experiencing an outage. Please call 615-893-1311 until further notice,\u201d the Murfreesboro police department tweeted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Buck McCoy, who lives near the area, posted videos on Facebook that show water pouring down the ceiling of his home. Alarms blare in the background and cries of people in great distress ring in the background. A fire is visible in the street outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McCoy says he says he heard gun fire 15 minutes before the explosion rocked his building. McCoy said the windows of his home were entirely blown out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAll my windows, every single one of them got blown into the next room. If I had been standing there it would have been horrible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt felt like a bomb. It was that big,\u201d he told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThere were about four cars on fire. I don\u2019t know if it was so hot they just caught on fire, and the trees were all blown apart,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

President Donald Trump has been briefed, according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere, who said that Trump, who is spending the holidays in Florida, will continue to receive regular updates. The US Justice Department said Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen was also briefed and directed all department resources be made available to help with the investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said on Twitter that the state would provide the resources necessary \u201cto determine what happened and who was responsible. Please join @MariaLeeTN and me in praying for those who were injured and we thank all of our first responders who acted so quickly this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nashville Mayor John Cooper said the city was lucky that the number of injuries was limited.<\/p>\n
