GALLATIN, Tenn. (WSMV) - People who live near a shooting on Airport Road in Gallatin said they feel uneasy while police search for a suspect.

The Gallatin Police Department is searching for a man after an attempted homicide. Police said the incident happened at a Twice Daily on Airport Road.

“We saw tape and cops and crime scene investigators,” said Chelsie Carson, a woman who lives in a nearby neighborhood. “[It’s] like something you’d see in a movie.”

Gallatin Police is searching for a man in connection to an attempted homicide at a Twice Daily on Airport Road.

Around five Gallatin Police officers rushed to the Twice Daily after calls of a shooting. Carson said the place had reopened a week ago.

Around 4 p.m. on Saturday, officials said an argument between workers turned into a shooting. When officials arrived, they could only find and arrest Imani Wright. The other person, William Henry Rutherford, got away. Officers said they believe Rutherford is armed and dangerous.

“I definitely hope they find him. That would make everyone feel a little bit safer,” Carson said.

Police said a number of agencies are now on the lookout.
