South Knoxville Officer-Involved Shooting; TBI Investigating
On Saturday, July 11 at approximately 2:48 p.m., KPD Officers responded to a domestic-related burglary in progress on the 4300 block of Immanuel Street in South Knoxville. Upon arrival a male suspect was found on scene armed with a knife. Officers used a taser in an attempt to take the suspect into custody. However, the use of the taser was ineffective, at which time the suspect began to attack officers while armed with the knife. A KPD officer fired his department issued handgun, striking the suspect. The suspect was immediately transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment. No officers were injured during this incident. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is on scene and will be the lead investigating agency per department policy.
