WBFF Fox 45 :: EXCLUSIVE: Double Stabbing Suspect Caught in Antioch - Meagan O'Halloran
ANTIOCH, Tenn. - FOX17's cameras were rolling as Metro Nashville Police arrested a suspect in connection with Tuesday morning's stabbing. Police searched all morning for 40 year old Donnell Simpson. He allegedly stabbed his wife in the area of Forest Breeze Drive. The crime scene tape is still up. She was taken to Vanderbilt and is expected to survive. Simpson was apparently on some sort of violent rampage because before going there, he went after his sister-in-law and stabbed her too. The sister-in-law was stabbed about 5 miles away off Melvin Jones Road. She was taken to Southern Hills Medical Center and is also expected to live. Police captured Simpson not far from the scene. This looks like this was just an ugly family feud that ended in violent stabbings. Again, both victims, Simpson's wife and his sister-in-law, are expected to be okay. Police aren't releasing any kind of motive right now. We believe Simpson does have an extensive criminal history.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.

The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.

About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.

Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
