10 injured in Tennessee National Guard Armory shooting

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. – Authorities say 10 people in western Tennessee were injured in a shooting at a party at a National Guard Armory.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Susan Niland says the shooting in Brownsville occurred before midnight Friday when a fight broke out at the armoury. Authorities believe the facility had been rented out for a party.

Niland says the victims, including two juveniles and eight adults, were transported to Jackson General Hospital. Two are expected to be transported to The Med in Memphis with non-life threatening injuries.

Niland says seven others were treated for injuries and have been released, or are in the process of being released. The scene at the armoury has been cleared.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Brownsville Police Department are still investigating the shooting.
