Alexander Tirado Rivera

Male, Hispanic

Date of the incident: 5/30/2015

Nashville, Davidson, TN

Rivera, robbing a loan center, pointed what appeared to be a gun at Sgt. Scott Carter as Carter responded to the incident. Carter fired a shot and retreated. Rivera then exited the building, holding his weapon to a woman's head. Just as she broke free, wrenching Rivera's weapon away, Carter fatally shot Rivera. His weapon was an air pistol.
