Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating after a body was found in Cumberland County Tuesday and a shooting left one person dead last night.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) reports that deputies discovered the unidentified body in a trash pile on Critter Creek Road around 6:00 pm. A press release said a concerned citizen found the body and called 911.
CCSO Public Information Officer Gary Howard said deputies also responded to a shooting in the 2500 block of Vandever Road at approximately 10:30 pm. Deputies arrived on scene and discovered multiple gunshot victims. Howard said the shooting left two people wounded and one person dead. Identities of the victims have not been released at this time.
The sheriff’s office has not said if the two incidents are related.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will be assisting with both investigations.
