Early Tuesday morning, at approximately 2:45 a.m., the Knoxville Police Department was called to The Pint House located at 815 Merchant Drive, following reports of a shooting incident. According to the department's latest statement, officers who arrived at the scene found three victims of gunshot wounds. Tragically, one man was declared dead right there, in front of the bar where festivities had turned to chaos.
A second male victim, having suffered critical injuries, was quickly transported to the UT Medical Center. Despite the medical team's efforts, he was later pronounced dead, the department confirmed. Running from the site before authorities arrived, the suspect remains at large. A woman, caught in the aftermath, emerged with minor injuries caused by a grazing bullet.
The confirmation of the fatalities and the ongoing status of the suspect was obtained through a press release from the Knoxville Police Department. The Homicide Unit detectives have now taken the investigation.
Anyone who might hold a fragment of the truth, a sighting that could lead to an arrest, is urged to come forward. The East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers awaits these insights and keeps anonymity for those who prefer to share their knowledge of the events without exposure.
