Gunshots fired at home of TN Holler founder

Catch up quick: Kanew has become a thorn in the side of Republican leaders in recent years with his audacious guerilla-style approach to journalism. He is an unabashed progressive advocate, weighing in on issues like gun control and state legislation targeting LGBTQ+ people.

• The Tennessee Holler broke the news earlier this year of Lt. Gov. Randy McNally's Instagram comments on pictures of a scantily clad young gay man.

What he's saying: "This violence has no place in a civilized society and we are thankful no one was physically hurt," Kanew said in a social media post.

Zoom out: Former state Rep. Mike Stewart urged the TBI and the FBI to join the investigation and ensure the safety of Kanew and his family.
