TBI Special Agents Investigating Clarksville Officer-Involved Shooting

TBI special agents are investigating the circumstances leading to a fatal officer-involved shooting that occurred early Wednesday morning (8/16/2023) involving officers with the Clarksville Police Department. Preliminary information indicates the shooting occurred just after 12:30 a.m. at an apartment complex.  The incident began Tuesday afternoon (8/15/2023) when Clarksville officers executed arrest warrants at the location for two men, identified as 31-year-old Brandon Green and 33-year-old Leonard Green, charging each with Aggravated Burglary. The brothers barricaded themselves in an apartment with a hostage, leading to several hours of negotiations with Clarksville officers. The situation escalated when officers entered the home and an exchange of gunfire ensued, resulting in the Green brothers being shot and killed and the hostage being shot and injured. Four Clarksville officers were also struck by gunfire during the incident, but none sustained life-threatening injuries. No information was immediately released on the condition of the hostage.
