The Roane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of a 15-year-old Rockwood teen following an incident today with a gun at a home on Ramsey Lane.

Authorities went to an area off Pump House Road near the West Roane County Fire Station to set up a landing zone for Lifestar.

The medical helicopter was called off minutes later when the juvenile passed away.

The medical examiner was called to the scene and ordered the teenager to be taken to the Knoxville Forensic Center for an autopsy.

Law enforcement did not release any further details of the incident.
