According to police, a shooting took place in front of Governors Square Mall, no active shooter

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There was no shooting at Governor's Square Mall Saturday afternoon, according to Clarksville police. However, a shooting occurred outside the mall, according to witnesses.

Law enforcement arrived at the scene around 10:50 a.m. and police confirmed that the shooting occurred on the mall bypass and not inside. The subsequent investigation indicates that the shooting was not a random act, but an isolated incident between two different parties.

Officers nevertheless evacuated the mall to conduct a security search of the entire building to ensure there were no victims or suspects inside. Employees and customers were allowed back in after the search was completed at 1:42 p.m.

According to police, there are no confirmed victims.

Detectives are still investigating what happened in the parking lot out front. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Henry at (931) 648-0656, extension 5343.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a groundbreaking TV chef from the early days of WLAC

I LOVE Forrest's stories about the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I didn't know until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black person to be on the air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps one of the first African Americans to have a cooking show on television nationwide. It wasn't until her grandson contacted me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to put him in touch with Forest to learn more about this great gem in NewsChannel 5's history.
