that must be a stock photo they're using because the article says .22 caliber pistol, yet the round pictured is a good deal larger than a .22 and the slide clearly says 40 S&W. Anyway I was just kind of curious what model of Ruger that is. Obviously the triggerguard has been butchered.

Looks like a mangled Ruger SR40 to me.

Why the hell is this a story in Nashville? The ND happened in TX. WSMV can't cover all the shootings in the 'hood, they have to move to other states, story in this case is a MINOR injury?

WTF?

The particular image is one of the guns used in "rolling gunbattle" March 20, 2015 in the St. Louis Area
Story and video here:
Fox2Now Website

Sadly, that image seems to be used as a stock gun image for a lot of "news" stories
Links where it is used:

Man shoots 3 kids...

Congress scraps Obama rules on coal mining, guns

Bill proposes firearms for firefighters

Missouri gun sales increase while permits decrease


Which is disappointing, because as a stock image, a generic "gun" would be better suited than a worn, broken, modified post crime gun.
