Around 6 o’clock on Christmas morning, Nashville police were reported to be hearing gunshots and dispatched.
Police found a message ringing in a recreational vehicle warning that a bomb would go off in 15 minutes.
The recording contained a few minutes of warning: “If you hear a message, evacuate immediately.”

Police knocked on the door of a nearby house and evacuated the residents.
The vehicle exploded around 6:30 when the dangerous goods squad was called and on the move.
Three people were taken to the hospital in the explosion, but it is known that they are not in critical condition.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiated the investigation, seeing that it was likely to be a deliberate act rather than an accident.
The mayor of Nashville stressed that they will surely find the people who caused the explosion.

Residents of Nashville were surprised by the sound of an explosion in the city center on Christmas morning amid the spread of Corona 19.
