OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On August 10, 2025, Mt. Juliet Police responded to a shooting in the 700 block of Parrish Place. Recognizing the high-risk nature of the situation, Mt. Juliet Police activated the Lebanon/Wilson County Special Response Team (SRT), a multi-agency SWAT unit trained for rapid armed intervention.
SRT operators arrived in armored vehicles, wearing full tactical body armor and ballistic helmets. They aggressively established a secure perimeter around the property and positioning sniper-observer teams to command full visual control of the target location. Shield-equipped entry teams took up positions at primary and secondary breach points, while other operators deployed high-intensity tactical lights to dominate visibility in the targeted direction.
Command directed continuous loudspeaker announcements, ordering the occupant to exit the residence. SRT teams maintained weapons at the ready, fully prepared for immediate armed engagement. Their aggressive posture was designed to overwhelm resistance, applying psychological pressure through sustained presence, visible firepower, and coordinated movement.
Despite repeated commands, no compliance was given. SRT advanced to the threshold under armed cover, breaching the entry point. Inside, officers discovered the individual deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The firearm was located close to the body. The scene was secured, processed for forensic evidence, and the operation concluded with no injuries to officers or bystanders.
