Four people injured in shooting during class reunion picnic at Tyner Community Center in Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA, TN – Four people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries following a shooting Saturday afternoon at the Tyner Recreation Complex, located in the 6900 block of Ty Hi Drive.
The incident occurred just after 3:00 p.m. while an annual Tyner High School class reunion was underway near the Tyner Community Center and Tyner Academy.
According to the Chattanooga Police Department, multiple shots were fired during a large gathering on the recreational field.
Witnesses reported chaos as gunfire erupted in multiple volleys, causing attendees to drop to the ground for cover.
One of the victims, identified as Shyria Kelly, was shot three times in the leg.
A witness at the scene assisted her before two nurses applied a tourniquet to control the bleeding until emergency responders arrived.
All four victims were transported to a nearby hospital and are expected to recover.
At this time, Chattanooga police have not released information about a suspect or any arrests.
However, officials stated there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The area was secured shortly after the shooting, and investigators are actively working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
