FBI, ATF search Antioch house of bombing suspect

December 26, 2020

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives converged on an Antioch house named as the residence of a person of interest in the Christmas Day RV bombing on Nashville’s Second Avenue.

Neither local nor federal agencies have named the suspect, but agents were seen entering a house in the 3000 block of Bakertown Road on Saturday afternoon.

Photojournalist John Partipilo was on the scene and shot federal agencies removing property from the house.
