Multiple people were injured in a shooting at a class reunion outside the Tyner Community Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Reports of gunfire at Ty Hi Drive were received by the Chattanooga Police Department just after 3pm on Saturday, Local3News reported.
The shooter was targeting an alumni picnic for graduates of Tyner High School, said Napierra Alexander, a public relations manager for the city of Chattanooga.
The school is on the same road as the community center. The picnic was held on a soccer field near the school, which is now full of police cars and abandoned canopies.
The picnic was part of the annual alumni weekend for Tyner High School, Alexander said.
It’s unclear precisely how many people were injured during the shooting and while leaving the scene, but all victims have been transported to the hospital, a police spokesperson said.
Police are now asking people to avoid the area.
Witnesses on the scene said there was a class reunion happening at the center and that there was chaos when the first shots were heard.
Police said there is currently no threat to the public, though no suspect has been publicly identified.
