A man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after a shooting took place on Lorraine Road in Memphis, as confirmed by the Memphis Police Department. The incident occurred around 12:48 p.m. near Gill Road, whereupon arrival officers found one man who had been shot. He was transported to a nearby hospital, and his current condition remains dire. Meanwhile, a woman has been detained in connection with the incident, though no suspect information has been disclosed at this time, Action News 5 reports.

In a separate incident, one teenager and three men could be linked to a recent armed robbery in Nashville. Conducting a routine surveillance, a Metro Police helicopter crew witnessed the individuals allegedly holding two men at gunpoint outside the Mosaic Apartments. The suspects fled the scene in a stolen Chrysler, igniting a chase that culminated on Murfreesboro Pike at East Thompson Lane. They were apprehended after 18-year-old Tha Wah and two others, Nathan Naw and Saw Say, also 18, attempted a fleeting escape on foot. The 15-year-old involved remained in the car, as detailed in a FOX 17 report.

The arrests revealed the confiscated Chrysler had been reported stolen from Packard Drive, fuelling suspicions of a spree of related criminal activities. Found inside the vehicle were two handguns, marijuana, and approximately $1,600 in cash. Subsequent search warrants executed at two residences unearthed additional disturbing finds a stolen handgun, multiple rounds of ammunition, and pepper spray. Each suspect faces serious charges, including aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, and motor vehicle theft, while their potential involvement in other crimes is under investigation. According to a WKRN report, the adult suspects remain jailed, and the juvenile is charged accordingly.
