The Memphis Police Department is currently investigating a distressing incident in Hickory Hill where four children were wounded by gunfire yesterday. As reported by Local Memphis, officers rushed to the 4100 block of Rosewind Circle before 10 p.m., following a shooting report.
The scene was chaotic as four minors, discovered with gunshot injuries, were promptly transported to medical facilities for urgent care. Struggling for their lives in critical condition, a 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl were admitted to Regional One Hospital, as mentioned by WREG. A 6-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl also received treatment for what were reported as non-critical injuries.
Details provided by the authorities disclosed suspects described as wearing all-black clothing and ski masks, fleeing the location on foot in a northerly direction. The motive behind this violent act remains unclear as the investigation unfolds, with the MPD urging anyone in possession of information to come forward, offering a contact line at 901-528-CASH, per Local Memphis.
