The crime scene is very large. It is estimated that the number of people at the event were in the hundreds. Many of the attendees apparently came from Knoxville.

In consultation with the Oak Ridge Police Department Command Staff, District Attorney General Dave Clark requested that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) respond to investigate. TBI assets have and are continuing to respond to the scene. The Oak Ridge Police Department, Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, Oak Ridge Fire Department, the 7th Judicial Crime Task Force (CTF), the District Attorney General’s Office and Anderson County Emergency Medical Services are all participating in the investigation or emergency response.

District Attorney General Dave Clark provided a statement that “this is an active crime scene and we are at the very beginning of the investigative process. Everyone is working together to treat the injured and gather evidence of what happened and what persons may be responsible. Our thoughts and prayers are also with those that have been injured and their families. The community should be aware that police have control of the crime scene, and I have great confidence in the team working on this investigation.”
