Spring Hill Police Department Responds to Shot Fired Inside Target

On October 23rd at 7:10 pm SHPD officers responded to a disturbance at Target (1033 Crossings Blvd) - a reported argument inside the store between two women. The investigation into the incident revealed that two women were shopping in the back section of Target when they got into an argument for reasons that are still under investigation. The verbal argument turned into a physical fight between the two women. For reasons that are still under investigation, one woman fired one round from a handgun in the direction of the other woman. The round did not hit any person. The suspect female was seen on video leaving the store and getting into a car with the person that she came into the store with. That car then left the area. The two women did not know each other.

Detectives are speaking to witnesses and have taken a statement from the woman who was shot at. The shooter was identified as a 24-year-old woman with an address on her driver’s license in Columbia, TN. The suspect is cooperating and providing a statement to detectives. The investigation is ongoing. More information will be released at the appropriate time.

Columbia’s Holiday Festivities Expand to Two Nights of Celebration in December

Columbia Main Street has exciting news for this year’s holiday festivities, introducing two nights of celebration for the first time. The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and Christmas Parade will take place on separate evenings—December 6th and 7th—offering more opportunities for the community to gather and enjoy the holiday spirit in downtown Columbia.

The festivities will kick off on Friday, December 6th, during the monthly First Fridays event, which will feature the magical Tree Lighting Ceremony from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will host the lighting, bringing a special holiday atmosphere to First Fridays with festive music, local vendors, food trucks, and family-friendly activities.

The holiday cheer continues on Saturday, December 7th, with Columbia’s annual evening Christmas Parade at 6 p.m. Floats from local businesses and organizations will fill West 7th Street and the town square, showcasing creative and beautifully decorated holiday themes. If you’d like to participate in this year’s parade, view the application here.
