NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- A man working at the Nashville Rescue Mission was reportedly brought to the hospital following a shooting Sunday afternoon.

According to Metro Nashville dispatch, the shooting was called in just after 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 11 from the 600 block of Lafayette Street.

Sam Siple, the vice president of development and marketing for the Nashville Rescue Mission, told News 2 the security lead for men's guest services was clearing out the day room for cleaning and one man was uncooperative. The security lead reportedly told the man he had to leave or he'd call law enforcement, but even after the man left, he was spotted hiding in the bushes outside.

At the end of the security lead's shift, he came out the main door and seven shots were fired, hitting him in the chest at least once, according to Siple. The suspect allegedly walked away but then came back and fired again.

Siple said the victim is in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but the suspect is still at large.

Members of the Metro Nashville Police Department were present at the scene of the shooting, but they did not share any information about the incident at News 2.
