Driver intentionally hit, killed pregnant mom and toddler in Jefferson City [TN], police say
Knoxville News Sentinel ^ | 06/19/2019 | Travis Dorman and Brittany Crocker,

Posted on 06/19/2019 10:33:56 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Police identified the pregnant mother as Sierra Wilson Cahoon, 30, and her son as 2-year-old Nolan. They were the wife and son of Matt Cahoon, an assistant athletic trainer at Carson-Newman University, a Christian school that sits less than a quarter-mile from where the crash occurred.

Investigators believe Phillips hopped behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Impala and drove west down East Main Street around 3:30 p.m. Monday, twice swerving onto the sidewalk to intentionally hit pedestrians, according to Jefferson City Police Department Capt. Darrell Turley.

Phillips first hit Tillman Gunter, 61, who was taken to a local hospital with injuries that didn't appear to be life-threatening.

Phillips then traveled less than a mile to the intersection of Russell Avenue and West Main Street, where he swerved to fatally strike Sierra and Nolan Cahoon, police said in a news release.

"The preliminary investigation has revealed that this was an intentional act of violence toward randomly chosen pedestrians," the release reads. "Investigators have determined that Phillips did not know the victims."

Phillips told authorities "a voice told him he needed to go kill meth addicts so he began driving very fast," arrest warrants state. "He said the voice told him that the baby stroller had meth in it so he intentionally drove into (the mother and child) ... killing them both."

Or use any other means to make sure he’s not going to have the opportunity to harm anyone else. Whatever the method, this guy needs to go away permanently.

There are no words. What can anyone say? May God mercifully bring this murdered mom and the little ones into His kingdom. Console and strengthen the grieving husband/father, who must be suffering beyond human comprehension.

Deal with the insane murderer as only He knows how.

"Just wait til they legalize meth. You better believe it’s the next goal after legalizing weed. There’s a reason Soros is a major pusher of legalization. He intends to destroy us."

Hey, Alcohol kills 88,000 a year. Meth only kills 10,000.

His facial hair is suspiciously middle eastern.

It started in 1972 when a then unknown Geraldo Rivera did an expose on the horrible conditions in the NYC mental institutions. He did the right thing but instead of fixing the problems the hospitals closed and in the name of RIGHTS of the mentally ill, the patients were put out in the streets. A problem we’re still doing with. Thank the ACLU for this.

Another car related killing! When are we going to stop this madness and begin to ban all automobiles. This is the third time in as many months where are car and driver teamed up to intentionally kill innocent women and children. We need to begin universal background checks on all drivers, eliminating those with what we would describe as a mental disease. And we need to eliminate/ban cars with big engines or muscle cars. there is no 2nd amendment protecting these crazies from owning and operating automobiles.

maybe we can get some socialist billionaire to donate lot s of cash to our new organization.

If cars are criminalized then only criminals will own cars.

Nolan Cahoon attended First Steps Preschool at the First United Methodist Church, just right down the road from where the crash happened.

Cahoon's teachers said he was a happy 2-year-old who would always give them hugs and high fives.
