  2. Crisis “The Nashville Nemesis” • Over the past week, six people were shot at three different locations around Nashville. • The shootings were on December 1st, 4th, and 7th. • Five of the six victims have died. • The locations of these shootings are not confined to one part of Nashville. • The police know that there is someone targeting – what appears to be – random people around the city.  • The city is now in full panic-mode…realizing they have a serial killer on the loose. • The local media has dubbed this killer “The Nashville Nemesis.” • The story breaks at 10pm on local news.

  3. The Issue How this crisis applies to us, the Nashville Convention and Visitors’ Bureau: • Tourists in Nashville may be scared and wish to immediately leave the city. • Tourists booked to visit Nashville in the next few weeks may wish to cancel their visit. • Potential tourists hearing about the “Nashville Nemesis” are possibly forming a negative impression of Nashville city and will not wish to visit. • This situation could spell disaster for businesses in Nashville’s hospitality industry.

  4. Break-down of Responsibility • Our (the NCVB) responsibility is to communicate with and assist visitors, both current and future. • The police and mayor’s office are jointly responsible for communicating with the citizens of Nashville. • The police are responsible for the safety of those in Nashville and for bringing the killer to justice. • The businesses/church where the shootings occurred are taking responsibility for the care of the surviving victim and the victims’ families.
