Police investigate a Double Shooting at Ooltewah Crossing

    Collegedale Police investigate a double shooting at the Ooltewah Crossing Shopping Complex on Reagan Lane.  That’s the strip mall next to Walmart.

    Authorities say a man came to the shopping center to speak with a woman who works at one of the retail stores. Once she came outside, the two had some sort of exchange, and then he shot the woman with a shotgun, before turning the weapon on himself.

    Tonya Sadler, Public Information Officer with Collegedale Police, says "when the police arrived they had one party that was deceased and another party with multiple gunshot wounds to the lower extremities. The party with the lower extremities has been transported to a local hospital."

     The woman survived surgery, but her name and condition have not been released.  The name of the man who committed suicide has also not yet been released.
