According to local authorities, police received a call about multiple gunshot victims on Saturday evening and responded quickly to the scene. The Chattanooga Police Department confirmed that all four victims sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and were taken to a nearby hospital.
There was no immediate confirmation of any arrests, although a person was seen being placed in a police vehicle, according to reports from the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Details about that individual were not disclosed.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic. One attendee, Jeoff Herman, told Local 3 News that everyone had been enjoying the event before gunshots scattered the crowd. He recalled people dropping to the ground, including small children and babies, calling it a terrible moment.
Another witness, Dominic Burkes, recounted helping a young girl who had been shot. He covered her wounds to stop the bleeding, shielded her from the sun, and stayed with her until help arrived.
