DEPUTIES DETAIN SUSPECTS INVOLVED IN FIRING GUNSHOTS ON HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS

Montgomery County- On August 19, 2022, at about 9:10pm, during a football game on the West Creek High School Campus deputies observed some suspicious activity in the West Creek High parking lot. Deputies observed a vehicle with an open trunk traveling above the posted speed. The deputies heard and saw gunshots fired. Deputies radioed dispatch for assistance and responding patrol deputies stopped the observed suspect vehicle.

Multiple Sheriff’s Office Deputies, along with Clarksville Police, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded to the location and deputies have now detained one adult and two juvenile suspects. No reports of injuries at this time. Deputies have recovered bullet shell casings, a firearm, and seized at least one vehicle. Sheriff John Fuson has sent members of the Criminal Investigation and Intel Division to the scene, and they are now processing evidence and collecting witness statements.

The Sheriff’s Office regularly has additional deputies at school sponsored sporting events like tonight’s football game. This is especially helpful when situations transpire or become aggravated, and we are already on scene.
