2 killed, 6 injured after shooting at unsanctioned public party in Tennessee, police say

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (TND) — Two people were killed and six were injured in Tennessee Saturday night after a shooting at a public party, police said.

The Memphis Police Department said on social media that officers responded to reports of a shooting just after 7:15 p.m. to the block party that was operating without a permit. Around 200 to 300 people were there, according to the X post from MPD.

Two people were pronounced dead at the scene and six were injured for a total of eight victims. Police originally reported there were 16 total victims but later revised that statement, saying the mixup most likely came from several victims being reported multiple times.

One of the injured victims remains in critical condition at a local hospital and one has been released.
