Several shots fired into THP station

Bartlett police were investigating a June 5 incident where more than a dozen shots were fired at the Tennessee Highway Patrol station on Summer Avenue near Elmore Road.

Police had no suspects in the case or motive. Investigators were reviewing surveillance data to see if they could determine any suspect information.

The THP office is just inside the Bartlett city.

According to Bartlett police reports, officers received a shots fired call to the station at 6348 Summer Ave. When they arrived, THP Lt. William Futrell said he heard 15 to 20 gunshots, and there were bullet holes in the front of the building.

Authorities advised that several rounds penetrated the front of the building. Officers at the scene found 14 AK-47 shell casings in the eastbound lanes of the highway in front of the headquarters.

Three people — two dispatchers and a trooper — were inside the office at the time. No one was injured in the incident, Hopkins said.
