Four people were hospitalized over the weekend after a shooting erupted at a class reunion in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
According to authorities, Chattanooga police are looking for the suspect(s) who are responsible for the shooting on Saturday afternoon, which took place at the Tyner Recreation Complex, where former students of Tyner High School had gathered for a reunion.
The school, now known as Tyner Middle High Academy, reopened earlier this year after the original building was demolished to make way for a modernized campus. Earlier this month, the Tyner Alumni Association shared on Facebook that alumni from 38 different graduating classes would be attending this year’s reunion weekend.
Four victims who were standing nearby a fight when the shots rang out were hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. A spokesperson for the Chattanooga Police Department stated that all four individuals were transported to a hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening. Authorities have not yet released details about a potential suspect, and it’s unclear whether anyone has been taken into custody. The circumstances leading up to the shooting were also unclear.
Investigators are working to collect evidence and determine what exactly led up to the shooting. Those with information about the incident were encouraged to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525. The investigation is ongoing.
