Thursday, police are investigating what appears to be a Molotov Cocktail found outside a Nashville convenience store. The convenience store clerk at a north Nashville Phillips 66 gas station reported a fire around midnight. Once fire officials arrived on the scene the small flame was out, but an unused Molotove Cocktail was left behind. It was about one-fifth filled with gasoline. The bottle was dusted for fingerprints.
Officials hope to find a suspect from the evidence.
No injuries were reported and the suspect remains at large. It was the third such incident in North Nashville this week. Two homes off of Joy Circle in North Nashville caught fire after a burning device was tossed through their windows. Police confirmed a Molotov Cocktail was to blame for one of the fires. An investigation was pending in all three cases.
