KNOXVILLE POLICE OFFICE SHOOTING SUSPECT ARRESTED

A suspect in a shooting at the main Knoxville post office has been taken into custody. Larry Steven Covington, 39, was arrested off Millard Beets Road in West Knoxville late last night. Deputies found him hiding in the crawl space of a house. Covington was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound. Covington was the only one reported injured.
