An inmate was shot and killed after an officer-involved shooting at the Vanderbilt Women’s Clinic at 100 Oaks Mall in Nashville.<\/p>\n
Officials said the shooting happened Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Metro Nashville Police said a convicted bank robber\u00a0stabbed a deputy\u00a0during a bathroom break Wednesday at a Vanderbilt clinic at One Hundred Oaks Mall.<\/p>\n
Inmate Rodney Cole, 37, died at the scene. Robertson County Deputy Josh Wiley is in critical condition with injuries from the stabbing and gunfire.<\/p>\n
MNPD Spokesperson Kris Mumford said Rodney Cole had a medical condition and visited the Vanderbilt clinic frequently for check-ups.<\/p>\n
Police said Cole asked to use the restroom during the clinic visit and was escorted inside the bathroom by Deputy Wiley.<\/p>\n
Shortly after, Wiley’s partner Deputy Tomishae Jones heard him yelling her name. She went in the bathroom to find Cole on top of Wiley, stabbing him with a long screw driver.<\/p>\n
At some point in the confrontation, Mumford said both deputies fired shots at the inmate. Cole stabbed Wiley several times, but the gunshots caused the most injury to him.<\/p>\n
Police are investigating whether or not Cole took one of the deputy’s guns, if gunfire was exchanged, and how the prisoner got the screw driver.<\/p>\n
They’re also looking in to how Cole was restrained during the trip to the bathroom. Mumford said the prisoner arrived at the clinic in handcuffs and shackles.<\/p>\n
