Nashville resident Buck McCoy told the Associated Press the explosion on Christmas morning “felt like a bomb.”

“All my windows, every single one of them got blown into the next room,” he said. “If I had been standing there it would have been horrible.” 

Local reports confirmed several people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to The Tennessean. 

“The hazardous devices unit was en route to the downtown area when an explosion linked to that vehicle took place at 6:30,” a police spokesperson told reporters near the scene. “The explosion was significant, as you can see from the street on Second Avenue. Now the police department and its federal partners the FBI and the ATF are conducting a large-scale investigation to this point. We do believe that the explosion was an intentional act.”

A statement from Nashville’s Emergency Operations Center called the explosion “an intentional bombing incident.”
