Active shooter in Bristol, TN
Posted: Thu, 07 Jul 2016 10:25:35
This is just across the line from Bristol, VA. It was pretty much within sight of State Street, which is the VA-TN border between Bristol, VA and Bristol, and TN crosses Route 11 which is Commonwealth Avenue on the VA side and Volunteer Parkway (Highway 11E) on the TN side. About an hour from my shack.
'Bout what you'd expect in these parts. An active shooter starts a rampage and pretty soon he's been shot. Moral of the story is don't F*** with us Hillbillies because we'll shoot back.
Far as I know, there's been no widespread news coverage of this.
IMO there'd be a lot fewer active shooters if they all ended this way; and if it got the same press as the ones with the horrific death tolls do.

Shooting was near the Days Inn on Volunteer Parkway in Bristol, Tennessee. When police arrived they engaged and shot the shooter, who was shooting at the public.
Several people were taken to Bristol Regional Medical Center including the shooter, one officer, and at least one civilian.
