‘Probably end up moving’: Nashville mother frightened after rapid-gunfire outside her home
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A mother said she may be forced to find a new place to live unless her building does something about the frequent gunfire she claims is happening in the Nashboro Village area.
Sable Greenfield was walking to the car with her 3-year-old daughter when rapid-fire gunshots echoed across the parking lot.

“We were just locking the door. I’m usually looking at my surroundings making sure no one’s just like around,” explained Greenfield. “All of a sudden, just heard like five gunshots, and we were just kind of like frozen.”
The terrifying moment was captured on video. In the video, you can see Greenfield walking with her daughter toward the car. The pair were on the way to pick up ice cream when she heard the gunshots.
“Me and my daughter just stood there frozen, and she asked me, ‘Mommy, are we going to die? Are we going to get shot, like are the bad men coming?’ I just feel like she shouldn’t be exposed to things like that,” said Greenfield. “To actually be there and it’s like right outside it’s just, I don’t know, you just freeze up sometimes.”
However, Greenfield explained the most concerning part is that this wasn’t the first time she’s heard rapid gunfire.
“You’ll hear them all throughout the night shooting off the guns, or right on this road, shooting at the tree line right here in front of the complex, but that’s actually the first time I caught it on video,” she said.
Greenfield explained she is fearful for her daughter’s safety and may end up taking drastic measures to protect her.

“Probably end up moving, yeah, if they don’t do something, if they don’t put up cameras, have security coming through, just make sure that we’re safe; we might end up moving somewhere different,” she explained.
