James was detained on the scene and taken to the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office where he was interviewed.

“This is a tragic and senseless outcome to a very avoidable situation and our detectives are working diligently to examine all of the evidence available to us to determine why this happened,” said Sheriff Tim Guider. “Our thoughts and our prayers are with the families of those involved.”

Officials said that evidence will be presented to Attorney General Russ Johnson’s office to be review. However, they also said that it was still an active investigation and no charges have been filed.
