UPDATE: Suspect Sought in Double Shooting

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

Police are finally sorting out the details of a double-shooting from early Friday morning and are searching for the alleged shooter. Sixteen-year-old Isaac Robinson was killed and 19-year-old Michael Shadden was critically wounded.

Police were first told by the victims that they were shot in the Brainerd area. However police say they have now received information from several sources who tell them the actual shooting took place on Pattentown Road in the Ooltewah area. Detectives say they found evidence that verified that the shooting actually occurred at 3933 Pattentown Road.

 

Dusty Stoke, a spokesman for Hamilton County Sheriff's Dept., says that the investigation revealed that shortly after midnight Friday, three subjects forcibly entered the residence with face coverings and armed with a long barreled weapon. He says that James Miller, one of the occupants inside the home, produced a weapon and fired multiple shots toward the armed subjects, hitting two of them... Robinson and Shadden, who fled the scene and later showed up at East Ridge Hospital where Robinson died.

Stokes says that Miller has made no attempt to notify police, summon medical aid, or report the incident to authorities. Warrants have been obtained for Miller on a charge of Criminal Homicide.

If anyone has information on the location of James Bryan Miller they need to contact the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office at 622-0022 Attn. Det. Ed Merritt

Robinson attended Central High School. School officials did not want to go on camera today but tell us they brought ten counselors in to help the students cope with his death.

Shadden's myspace page says he's expecting a baby. The page also says "I'm gangsta" and flashes money.

With one teenager dead and another clinging to life, Sgt. Kim Noorbergen with the Chattanooga police said Friday, it is the parents who need to step up.

"Know where your kids are at know what they're doing," Noorbergen says. "The way we look at it what's a sixteen year old doing out at one in the morning?"
