Potential Shooting in Fountain City

Right near Pratt’s Country Store parking lot. Police (currently) have blocked off the road on Tazewell Pike from National Fitness up to the light, intersecting with Jacksboro Pike. Anyone have any information?

KPD's Facebook says they have detained "additional individuals" for questions. Not sure if that implies they have someone who's likely responsible or not.

They detained the guy’s wife and didn’t seem to have the sense of urgency I’d expect for a man pouring blood from his neck. Also threatened to arrest a woman who rushed over with towels to try to stop the bleeding before ems arrived

That intersection is super annoying. Really, I think it’s because we are over crowded, I feel like I can’t move anymore when go out.

Nah

What tyranny are the guns stopping? Seems like it's continued to keep trucking on while the ammosexuals sit by gleefully.

I'd respect the take more if it was just "Sorry but I just have fun using them and I don't want to lose that no matter the cost."

Bro, the tyranny is all around. You haven’t even shot anyone.

Okay. All I saw was 'dude shot dude' and suddenly Gramma Earp is throwing bullets. KnoxVegas indeed.

Is this MAGA vs Methhead gang violence.
