(June 20, 2022) Ricky House, 47, will be charged with attempted criminal homicide as the result of a shooting at the Citgo gas station, 500 Main Street, in East Nashville just before 12:45 Monday morning that injured a 39-year-old Murfreesboro man (non-critically). House was also wounded by return fire, allegedly in self-defense, from a 23-year-old Murfreesboro man. House remains hospitalized.
The two victims work at the gas station and were outside when House approached them wanting to return items he claimed to have purchased Sunday night. When the 23-year-old told House he’d have to wait for the manager to return, House allegedly pulled out his Glock pistol and threatened both men.
The 39-year-old tried to disarm House and during a struggle between the men, House fired twice. The 23-year-old returned fire striking House multiple times. The 39-year-old was struck once during the shooting.
Both House and the 39-year-old were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The Glock pistol and the 23-year-old’s revolver (seen in the photo) were recovered.
After reviewing surveillance video from the Citgo, warrants were issued charging House with attempted criminal homicide, reckless endangerment, and being a felon in possession of a weapon. He will be arrested upon his release from the hospital.
