HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — Police in Tennessee say the father of an 11-year-old girl who was fatally shot in a suburb north of Nashville has been arrested.

Hendersonville police tell news outlets that 29-year-old Timothy Batts was arrested on reckless homicide, tampering with evidence, false reporting and other charges in connection with the shooting death of Timea Lashay Batts.

Authorities originally told WKRN Timothy Batts said the girl got off the school bus at her home and that when she went inside, she said she’d been shot.

The girl’s father took her to TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center. She was then flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville where she died less than two hours later, WKRN reports.

Det. Jim Vaughn with Hendersonville police previously told WSMV the shooting did not happen on the bus, based on an interview with the bus driver.

Now, police say they determined Timea Batts was shot inside the home.

The child had just returned home from her first day of school when the shooting occurred.

It isn’t immediately clear if Timothy Batts has an attorney.

The investigation is ongoing.
