Sheriff’s Office: Suspect in Middle Valley shooting was victim’s grandson

HAMILTON COUNTY, Tennessee (WDEF) – Hamilton County authorities are releasing more information on the shooting suspect from Middle Valley on Monday.

They say 24 year old Tyler Brigham is being charged with shooting his grandfather.

The call to the 8700 block of Freida Lane started as a neighbor reporting a man entering vehicles.

A woman said he seemed to take something from the vehicle and was heading toward hers.

While deputies were talking about that case, they got a report of a shooting on the next block.

Officers quickly found Brigham nearby in the possession of a stolen gun from the vehicle.

But it was not the one used in the shooting.

They found that weapon under a porch.

Brigham faces nine charges in all, including attempted murder and a variety of burglary counts.

Officials have not released any information on the condition of the grandfather.
