Authorities say an argument over drugs may have led to shootings at a Memphis home Wednesday that injured nine people, including several children. No one is reported dead, but a 3-year-old girl and 59-year-old woman were critically injured.
Witnesses tell police that a group of men got into an argument about a block away from the house. Authorities believe it was over the quality of the unspecified drugs.
Some of the men got into cars and followed the man to the home. At least one man reportedly got out of the car and opened fire with a high-powered, semi-automatic rifle.
Officers found one of the cars and took two young men into custody. All of the victims were inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Authorities say two 14-year-old girls, a 13-year-old girl and a 22-year-old woman were injured, not critically. A 4-year-old boy was wounded in the shoulder and a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg. Both were hospitalized, but were expected to recover from their injuries.
A 9-year-old boy sustained a bruise, but was not seriously injured. Police did not release the identities of the victims.
That's the detail that makes it attempted first degree murder, as opposed to attempted manslaughter. In addition to other charges.
