Edwards is wanted for attempted criminal homicide and evading arrest after a Hendersonville Police officer was shot on Monday night while making a traffic stop.


The officer has non-critical injuries and is being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, police said.


Samuel Edwards is considered armed and dangerous; if you see him, call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
