The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation told WGNS on Monday morning:

At the request of 16th District Attorney General Jennings Jones, TBI Agents continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding an officer-involved shooting Sunday evening in Murfreesboro. Preliminary information indicates the incident began shortly after 7:10 when authorities received a call from the Regal Inn, where a woman alerted authorities her boyfriend, 27 year old Michael Kilpatrick (DOB 11/13/88), assaulted her and was threatening further violence against her three children (all under the age of 6), one of whom is Kilpatrick's biological child. The family lives at the hotel on South Church Street.

When officers arrived, they attempted to stop Kilpatrick, however, he attempted to strike officers with his vehicle. The situation escalated, and resulted in one Murfreesboro officer firing his weapon at Kilpatrick. The subject then fled the scene, with the children in his vehicle, and led officers on a brief pursuit through the immediate area, during which he struck five police cruisers. Kilpatrick eventually surrendered at a location near the intersection of South Church Street and National Drive. Officers discovered Kilpatrick was injured in the shooting and coordinated transport by medical helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
