“CPD emphasizes that this was not an active shooter incident. Detectives from District 1 Criminal Investigations have responded to the scene and all parties involved are in contact with law enforcement,” Beaubien said. “The investigation is ongoing.”

The person at Tennova had multiple non-life threatening gunshot wounds and is being transported to Nashville. No other injuries have been reported.

Walmart is closed until further notice. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call 911.

Update at 1.30 p.m.: One person was injured in the shooting, according to police spokesman Officer Scott Beaubien. The person drove to Tennova Healthcare, and the injury does not appear to be life-threatening.

Police responded to Walmart, 1680 Fort Campbell Blvd., after receiving multiple 911 calls.
