Metro Nashville police officers continue to be on high alert following two currently unconnected robberies on West End earlier today. Vanderbilt campus buildings have been placed card access only, and students are cautioned to remain vigilant.

According to MNPS Lieutenant Lee Kendall, at around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a woman was approached by the suspect and forced to drive to the ATM at First Tennessee Bank on West End Ave where she was robbed. She was shot in the leg and is currently being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Another, currently unconnected robbery took place at the Papa Johns on West End Ave., when a delivery driver was approached outside his car and robbed by two suspects. The driver was not injured.

“Officers that aren’t actively on call are staying alert to respond to any type of suspicious persons and what not,” Kendall said. “We’re just trying to make sure we have high visibility where it would deter any other further acts by these two different robbery suspects.”
