HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — Police arrested the father of an 11-year-old Tennessee girl who was shot and killed Monday. Police had been investigating the case as a homicide.

Authorities originally told WKRN the girl got off her school bus at her Hendersonville home. When she went inside, she told her father she had been shot, according to his account of the incident.

Police now say Timothy Batts, 29, was arrested on multiple charges, including reckless homicide, tampering with evidence and false reporting in connection with the death of Timea Lashay Batts.

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 that the shooting didn’t happen on the bus, based on an interview with the bus driver.

Police now say the girl was shot inside her home after returning from her first day of school.

The investigation is ongoing.
