Jason Steen, owner of Scoop: Nashville passed away, no link with shooting near Tennessee State University (TSU)
Jason Steen, the owner of Scoop: Nashville, has been confirmed to have passed away, according to an official statement released by his family.
His death occurred after an extended period on a ventilator, as had been previously reported.
The family clarified that his death is unrelated to today’s shooting near Tennessee State University (TSU), and any reports linking the two incidents are false and the result of misinformation spread by scammers.
All claims suggesting otherwise should be disregarded, as they have no basis in fact.
Emergency services in Queens responded to a multi-casualty incident (MCI) late Thursday involving a major motor vehicle accident on the Kosciuszko Bridge.
The accident left six individuals injured, including two victims in critical condition suffering from traumatic cardiac arrest.
First responders arrived on scene under Box 8380, finding multiple vehicles involved in a collision that caused significant damage and blocked portions of the bridge.
Emergency medical teams immediately began triage and treatment, stabilizing patients for transport to area hospitals.
Two individuals required advanced life-saving measures at the scene as they were in traumatic arrest due to their injuries.
Four additional patients sustained varying levels of injury, and all six were transported to nearby trauma centers for further care.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, which caused major traffic disruptions in the area. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes as emergency crews worked to clear the scene and restore traffic flow.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and the conditions of the injured individuals are made available.
