NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A 15-year-old has been taken into custody in connection with a shooting during a robbery attempt in a parking lot in the Priest Lake area earlier this month.

Metro police reported the teenager was arrested Monday morning on on McPherson Drive.

Suspect sought after shooting in grocery store parking lot

The shooting happened on Monday, April 1 at around 3:45 p.m. in the parking lot of the Food Lion on Bell Road near Hermitage.

The suspect is believed to have been loitering in the parking lot for “some time” and tried to rob the victim as he was getting out of his car, leading to the victim being shot in the jaw, according to investigators.

Police initially said the victim’s injuries were not critical. Then, on Friday, April 5, they announced the 58-year-old United States Marine Corps veteran who was wounded in the attempted robbery is now recovering at home.

Climate tech startups raised $8.1 billion in the first quarter, near record amounts of money that suggest 2023’s quiet close might have been more of a blip than the sign of a protracted downturn. The figure, contained in a new report from PitchBook, shows that climate tech hasn’t succumbed to the same slowdown that has dragged on the rest of the venture community. A deeper look into the $8.1 billion raised in the first quarter shows that investors focused their attention on materials, including green steel and battery materials and minerals.
