Lipscomb Security warned students in a campus-wide email to stay in their dorms overnight Wednesday, citing “two serious crimes” in Green Hills.
The Tennessean reported a shooting with injury near the Green Hills Library, located at 3701 Benham Ave. WSMV reported that the victim was a man and that a maroon Jeep Cherokee with three black male suspects fled the scene. The second crime to which the email refers is unknown.
University spokesperson Kim Chaudoin sent the email at 11:02 PM Wednesday evening.
“As a precautionary measure, we request that residential students remain in their residence halls this evening,” she wrote. “For those who are off campus or need to leave campus, please use extra caution and vigilance.”
