On Christmas Day, an explosion in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, injured three and knocked out regional internet and cellular coverage at communications giant AT&T.
Human remains were found near the RV that contained the explosive device. According to the BBC, the explosion is being investigated as a suicide bombing.
Yes, the RV played a message warning there was a bomb on board. However, what really saved lives were the first responders who risked life and limb to evacuate residents.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper praised the police officers who ran toward the explosion as ?incredible heroes.?
According to the New York Post, six local policemen took ?swift action? when the RV began broadcasting a warning that there would be an explosion in 15 minutes.
?These incredible heroes who ran to danger with uncertain outcomes ahead of them were responsible for so many injuries being saved,? Cooper said during a Friday news conference.
The officers ?took swift action and directed people away to save lives ? even at the time when their own lives would have been in peril.?
Even though the explosion happened so early ? when neighborhood residents were either sleeping or preparing for Christmas morning ? the six officers worked to make sure the area was evacuated before the camper exploded.
?Officers immediately began knocking on doors and evacuating residents here, not knowing if the bomb was going to detonate immediately or if it was going to go off in the time that it was stated,? said Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake, according to CNN.
The six officers were Brenna Hosey, James Luellen, Timothy Miller, Michael Sipos, Amanda Topping and James Wells.
