She heard a loud noise which she initially thought was a firecracker blast She later realized it had been a gunshot "The firecrackers were flying and there was smoke everywhere," Shields said. "I ducked and then went into the house. Then I heard a noise different from firecrackers and I didn't pay attention.

That was it the shot!" Sam Watkins, whose apartment TODD EISENSTADT Staff Writer A Mount Juliet, Tenn, man was shot in the neck last night in North Nashville after telling a group of youths not to ignite firecrackers near his car, officials said. Police said they were getting little cooperation from the dozens of witnesses present when one of several youths was throwing firecrackers near the 1970s model tan Pontiac Grand Prix belonging to William Albert Harris. Harris, 46, of 472 Lone Oak Road in Mount Juliet, was in surgery at Van-derbilt University Medical Center late last night, where officials said a bullet was being removed from his neck. "There was a crowd shooting firecrackers around his car," said central patrol Officer Clifford Woods. "He asked them to stop shooting the firecrackers and they shot him" Traffic alert code-a-phone The wedding picture doesn't always tell the real story.

A succession of firecracker and bottle rocket explosions made Wat-kins' soft-spoken voice inaudible at times as he recounted the shooting while sitting on his front porch. "They never quit" Watkins said of the fireworks. "They're all right in their time and place, but they shouldn't be the cause of someone being shot I think it's senseless." Homicide detective Randy Fowler said late last night that police had no suspects, in part because peer pressure made witnesses unwilling to cooperate with police.

(Goose) Warren, a real estate affiliate broker and former police officer and Metro councilman, is pushing ahead modestly with his campaign. "Anytime you have your name in, you have a chance," Warren said, painting a picture of his campaign as low-key. "Fm fixing to buy 1 ,000 signs," Warren said. "It'll cost me about $350. My financial support is from myself.

I'm a poor boy with no organization. "I represent the people of Davidson County and I'm not tied to anybody." Warren said if elected he would look for new ways to relieve jail overcrowding and would cooperate with all law enforcement agencies. "I have 28 years in law enforcement, four years as councilman and 12 years on the employee benefits board," Warren said. "I think that qualifies me to be sheriff." Warren and Cobb, independent candidates, took a swipe at Hillin. The former FBI agent, who said he was against nepotism, planned to hire his son to work with him in the Sheriffs Department, they said.

Both independent candidates said there would be no nepotism if they were elected and predicted strong support from many voters in Nashville. Many people are not happy with Hillin, Cobb said. "I think that 64,025 people were happy with me in the Democratic primary, 71 of the voters who voted that day," Hillin said.

Cobb received some criticism but gained some popularity in the 1960s when he arrested a city councilman on charges of violating the sticker law, and a city comptroller for disorderly conduct for cursing during a confrontation near the Metro Courthouse.

He also ticketed two parking meter officers who parked in a bus zone while they went to lunch. In 1 966, Cobb, who said he was armed with a court warrant, closed down the movie, Who's Araid of Virginia Woolf because of its profanity. Cobb was known as being "very religious," officials then said. He was a deacon and Baptist Sunday school teacher. The courts later ordered the movie reopened.

Cobb, who farms for a hobby, said last week he believes he has mellowed somewhat since those days. The low point of his police career, however, is still with him. He accidentally killed a woman while investigating a murder. "That's something I have to live with every day and I'm sorry about it," he said, calling it a sad and terrible tragedy for the family of the woman. Cobb, though he did not have a search warrant, obtained the key to the motel room the woman, a man and the woman's child were staying in and attempted to enter at night after they had gone to bed.

The door opened only a little and was stopped by the chain latch. The man grabbed a pistol from beside the bed and Cobb fired his shotgun through the opening. The woman, whom Cobb said he did not see, was struck and killed. The people were not involved in the murder being investigated. "HYSTERICAL!" Pat Collins, WWOR-TV A A A A "a Wm mZF.

Everyone on the Democratic ticket has thrown their support behind him, Hillin said. As for nepotism, Hillin, who said he has received several threats, reiterated he wants his son Jim to come to work for him because he would do a good job. "I would rather have Jim than Goose and Fred combined," he said. Hillin had little to say about a possible surge in support for his opponents. "I haven't seen any "Goose" signs, but I've seen several "Cobb" signs," Hillin said.

"All I do is try to keep up with Hank Hillin." Hillin said he already has drawn up a reorganization plan for the Sheriffs Department and has hired a polygraph operator. Keeping drugs out of the jail is one of the goals he would achieve by beefing up the internal affairs section with more personnel and renaming it se 7S THE NEW BATCH ffflTFrlW lira PG-13 MinwMiMa wnKUMiui cotmWRwui PJ2S5SS25Jf nt'm turn I.
