October 5, 2025 – The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Monday afternoon in Drummonds, Tennessee. The incident involved deputies from the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and left one man critically wounded.
What Happened
The officer-involved shooting occurred shortly after 4:00 p.m. on Monday, October 5, 2025, in the 7600 block of Richardson Landing Road in Drummonds. Deputies had responded to a report of an altercation between two brothers. Upon arrival, a short foot chase ensued with one of the men, leading to a mobile home on the property.
For reasons still under investigation, the situation escalated, and a deputy fired at the man, striking him. The man was critically wounded and airlifted to a hospital. Fortunately, no law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
Investigation Details
TBI special agents are continuing their investigation to determine the series of events that led to the shooting. This includes collecting evidence and conducting interviews with those involved. As part of the process, all investigative findings will be shared with District Attorney General Mark Davidson for further review.
TBI agents are tasked with gathering the facts and do not make determinations about the justification of the officer’s actions. That decision will ultimately rest with the district attorney general, who requested TBI’s involvement in this case.
Public and Social Media Reactions
