Two people are dead following a double-fatal shooting involving federal ATF agents during an operation along Landers Avenue in South Nashville on Thursday.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the incident began around 1:11 p.m. when ATF agents conducting an enforcement action were fired upon. Officials stated that an agent returned fire, killing one person. During the ensuing confrontation, another individual pointed a gun at an agent and was subsequently shot and killed.
