CCTV Catches The Moment A Man Walking His Dog Was Caught In The Nashville Blast

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man and his dog were out for a walk early Christmas morning.

“At 6:30 in the morning, you know, there’s not a quieter time downtown than Christmas morning… I noticed there were police cars at each corner with their lights on. And the guy from the 21C hotel was running outside the building and saying we’ve got to evacuate.”

Caught on camera, you can see an officer talking to David Malloy, potentially saving him and his dog from harm.

“The officer was in the middle of the road on 2nd Avenue, walking towards me telling me to evacuate, when I said, ‘why do I need to evacuate’ and then boom, the bomb went off,” recalled Malloy.

Not injured, but shaken up.

“We were really fortunate that we didn’t get hurt and of course myself and the officer and the other two officers like I said standing out there, the gentleman I was talking to, we were okay, but obviously scared the crap out of us,” recalled Malloy.

Malloy recalling what he saw in the aftermath of the explosion.

“It happened, boom, and windows were blown out everywhere and the building right next to ours all their windows blew out, top and bottom, everything.”

The man hearing the warning from the RV, but he thought it was a message of safety and not danger.
