Law enforcement authorities in Lewis County are currently investigating an officer-involved shooting that took place on Sunday evening. According to a press release, the incident unfolded around 7 PM when a male suspect reportedly fired shots at a business in Hohenwald. Deputies from the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office subsequently located the suspect’s vehicle along Highway 20 in Summertown. During the encounter, two officers were involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of the suspect, who has not yet been publicly identified. Fortunately, no officers sustained injuries during the altercation.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has taken charge of the case and is working to independently piece together the sequence of events leading up to the shooting. This involves gathering evidence and conducting interviews as part of the ongoing investigation. Throughout this process, the TBI will share its investigative findings with the district attorney general for further review and consideration.
