Summary

A man in his 40s was fatally shot by a security guard at the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. The man attempted to fire a handgun at or near the entrance but the weapon failed to discharge, after which he brandished a knife. The security guard then opened fire, and the man was transported to a medical facility where he was pronounced dead. Authorities have not determined the man's reason for being at the courthouse. A search of his vehicle found no dangerous items. Reports indicate the man was from out of state. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation took over the investigation.
