NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say a Grammy-winning sound engineer accused of kidnapping and threatening his wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint in Tennessee has been fatally shot by police. Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron says an officer killed 54-year-old Mark Capps during an encounter Thursday. Aaron says officers went to Capps’ home to arrest him on warrants charging him with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping involving his wife and stepdaughter.
