Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.We begin with a developing story from downtown Nashville, where a police-involved shooting is under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Early yesterday on Representative John Lewis Way, officers responded to a call concerning a person in the midst of a mental health crisis. According to TBI, when officers arrived, the man reportedly claimed to be armed and threatened harm. The situation escalated and led to multiple officers firing their weapons. The individual was taken to an area hospital but was pronounced dead. Authorities are still gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. More details will be shared as the investigation progresses, as the TBI works to determine exactly what happened.Turning to the weather, it is a brisk and breezy start today after last night’s heavy storms. Yesterday, Nashville was under a tornado watch with damaging winds seen across Davidson and the surrounding counties, but thankfully the city avoided major damage. Today should bring calmer conditions, with patches of sunshine and highs near 60 degrees making it a pleasant afternoon for outdoor plans. We might see a few clouds overnight and temperatures dipping into the upper 40s, so grab a jacket before heading out.From City Hall, the November 12th meeting of the Health Facilities Commission, which usually discusses proposals for new clinics and hospital sites, has been canceled.

While some sectors have seen job growth, particularly in healthcare, technology, and finance—with Nashville still pulling major players like Amazon and Oracle—other industries are facing significant downsizing, particularly from the adoption of artificial intelligence and cost-cutting. Unemployment hovers near four and a half percent, and while new jobs are still being created, local experts note that those recently laid off are struggling to quickly secure new roles.On the real estate front, Nashville has slipped to sixth place in the national rankings for markets to watch in 2026, according to a new study by PwC and the Urban Land Institute. Despite the slight dip, optimism remains high with major redevelopment projects on the horizon, especially in neighborhoods seeing strong population growth and new mixed-use spaces.
