Suspect at Large After Mass Shooting at Tennessee Bar
At least one person is dead and 10 injured in an overnight shooting in Memphis.
One person was killed and 10 injured in a mass shooting in Memphis, Tennessee early Sunday morning.
Memphis police responded to a shooting just before 1 a.m. at Live Lounge on East Shelby Drive, and discovered several victims at another bar near Shelby Drive and Boeingshire Drive.
Police found two victims in critical condition at the Live Lounge who were transported to a medical facility, while five victims in non-critical condition drove themselves to the hospital, according to a statement.
While at the scene of the first shooting, police said they were alerted to additional victims at the second scene—though they initially reported that shots had been fired at the second location as well.
They found one dead male victim and three people in critical condition at the second location, transporting the injured to a local hospital.
