ambulance-lts

Huntingdon, Tenn.–A sad story out of Carroll County.

A woman shot herself in Huntingdon Saturday afternoon as officers approached her after she had pointed the gun at them. The subject was airlifted to an area hospital and her condition is unknown at this time.

Huntingdon Director of Public Safety Walter Smother said around 2 p.m. on Saturday November 27, 2021 at two Huntingdon Police Officers responded to a call from a Carroll County Deputy Sheriff that a woman had pulled a gun and pointed it at him as he attempted to talk to her on or near Lexington Street in Huntingdon. “This was near the Huntingdon Missionary Church,” Smother said.

As the officers arrived on the scene they observed a white female behind some of the residences in that area and that she was holding what appeared to be a black colored handgun.

“The female subject ran from them and the deputy. After a lengthy foot pursuit across a field and into a wooded area the subject stopped and sat down beside a tree,” he said. “As the first officer to reach her approached her, he told her to ” put down the gun she at which time she stated that she wasn’t going with us” and subsequently put the gun to the right side of her head and discharged a single shot.”

An air ambulance was summoned as she was still alive and was airlifted from nearby the scene. Additional information may become available subject to review of this incident by the District Attorney General’s Office.
