Three Wounded in Shooting on Monday Night

An investigation is underway after Knoxville Police Department officers responded to a shooting that wounded three on Monday night.

On Monday, November 29, 2021 at around 6:35 p.m., 9-1-1 received a call from the victims, who said that they had been shot and were still driving. The victims were told to pull over and stopped in the 5400 block of E. Sunset Road, where they were met by responding officers. Officers arrived on scene and found that three victims had been shot. The victims, one adult male and two adult females, were all transported to the UT Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Based on the findings of the preliminary investigation, it is believed that the shooting occurred in the 1300 block of Joy Road and the victims fled the scene before being met by officers on E. Sunset Road. Violent Crimes Unit investigators and assisting officers have spoken with numerous witnesses and canvassed the area of Joy Road and McDonald Road. The circumstances that led to the shooting remain under active investigation.
