Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig was walking on a track in a local park when she was shot and critically wounded.

The Nashville district attorney called on Wednesday for the Tennessee legislature to make it easier to commit someone to a mental institution after a man who was previously released for incompetence to stand trial was accused of shooting an 18-year-old college student in the head.

Belmont University student Jillian Ludwig, of New Jersey, was walking on a track in a local park when she was shot and critically wounded at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Metro Nashville Police. They arrested Shaquille Taylor, 29, after surveillance video and witness statements pointed to him as the shooter.

“Taylor was shooting at a car when a bullet hit Ludwig in the head as she walked on a track in a park across the street,” police said on social media when announcing the arrest Wednesday.

    refurbishing/rebuilding them without fed funding (Reagan cut it in 1981) was impossible without massive tax increases

    Bullshit.

    Reagan cut funding as part of his “trickle down fails yet again like it always has” and that is why they weren’t funded. No increase was needed, slashing funding was the problem. Don’t repeat Reagan’s lies.
