Officers shot and killed a man inside a federal courthouse in Nashville on Thursday after he allegedly brandished a gun and then a knife in the court’s lobby, investigators said.<\/p>\n

At around 9:30 am, an unidentified male in his 40s, who was from out of state, attempted to pass through the checkpoint of the Fred D. Thompson Federal Building & Courthouse while armed, Nashville Metropolitan Police Public Affairs Director Don Aaron told reporters at a news conference.<\/p>\n

At the checkpoint, the man allegedly attempted to fire his pistol, but the gun jammed, according to Aaron. The suspect then allegedly pulled out a knife and attempted to attack an officer, which is when the officer opened fire, Aaron said.<\/p>\n

The suspect was transported to the hospital critically wounded and was later pronounced dead, Aaron said. Police said the man’s motive was under investigation.<\/p>\n

Investigators were searching the suspect’s car, which was left near the scene. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will handle the investigation, Aaron said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Obviously, someone who is armed and brings a firearm into a federal courthouse is not acceptable, and we’re going to have to get to the bottom of what happened and then act accordingly,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob McGuire said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials said the situation prompted the evacuation of a nearby library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
