CLARKSVILLE, TN — A late-night incident in a typically quiet Clarksville neighborhood took a violent turn when officers with the Clarksville Police Department (CPD) responded to a report of a wanted individual and ended up investigating a shooting.

On the evening of [Thursday], June 12, around 11:00 p.m., CPD officers were dispatched to the area of Heritage Point Circle and Abby Creek Drive after receiving a tip from a concerned citizen who believed that someone in the vicinity might have an outstanding warrant. Officers began canvassing the area in search of the individual when they suddenly heard a gunshot ring out nearby.

Acting quickly, officers responded to the direction of the gunfire and located a vehicle parked on Abby Creek Drive. Inside were two adult males who had apparently been involved in some form of altercation.
