MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Seven people were shot overnight at Prive Restaurant in Hickory Hill.
According to the Memphis Police Department (MPD), officers were called to 6980 Winchester Rd., Prive, for a shooting just after 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Two men were found suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
One was pronounced dead at the scene and one was taken to Regional One in critical condition but later was pronounced dead, according to police.
Police said five additional people, four men and one woman, arrived at area hospitals in private cars.
According to police, the victims that went to hospital's ages are a 35-year-old man, a 30-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman, a 37-year-old man and a 31-year-old man.
Evidence markers indicate around 40 bullets were fired.
According to MPD, preliminary information indicates that the shooting stemmed from an altercation inside the restaurant.
"These senseless killings have to stop. Our guns laws in our country and state need to be reevaluated; we need common sense regulations limiting easy access to these weapons," said Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland. "In addition, our court systems needs to have zero tolerance for gun and violent crimes.”
Prive Restaurant has connections to Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.
Looks like someone didn't get the memo, Mr. Mayor
Just another day in paradise.
Hmmm....connections to a rapper, huh? Things start to make sense now. Imagine that...
It was a transgenie bbq guy called “pussy cook”
“..Our guns laws in our country and state need to be reevaluated; we need common sense regulations limiting easy access to these weapons,”
Well then, how come in numerous areas of Tennessee alone there is little or no violent crime compared to Memphis, which is among the more violent areas of the United States, and that these areas have high rates of legal firearms ownership?
Meanwhile, crickets about that MVA that killed four kids a few days ago in TN...
Wonder why no follow up on that...
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was gang related.
Sounds drug and gang related. Thugs killing thugs - or missing, and killing innocent while trying to kill thugs.
Covid 19 drove the jackasses in the country crazy. Now, when somebody pisses you off. You kill them. The Dung Beetle Party DAs say homicide is no longer a crime in their new Communist Utopia. Perverts like the AZho Govnah, Kati Hoggs is lookin’ out for you. Go ahead and shoot.
The restaurant is connected to rapper Yo Gotti
***Our guns laws in our country and state need to be reevaluated;***
Really? The Dems said we got it right back in 1968! Why do we need more laws that will not work! OH WAIT! Criminals do not obey laws!
I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.
And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons act as a pattern...
“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
or does it seem like there is a spike in mass murder whenever we have a democrat in the whitey Hut
And in other news, the FBI has finally released, six years after, the reason the Las Vegas shooter went on his rampage in 2017.
https://www.4029tv.com/article/las-vegas-mass-shooter-motive-fbi-documents/43470459
“The high-roller gambler who opened fire on concertgoers on the Las Vegas Strip had lost tens of thousands of dollars while gambling weeks before the mass shooting and was upset about how the casinos had treated him, according to FBI documents made public this week.”
Grandpa's deer rifle (aka "high poered sniper rifle"), a shotgun, a .22lr, yet, we have a very low violent crime rate.
Wonder why?🤔/sarc
Can you imagine how bad Memphis would be if not for Fed Ex Headquarters there?
Fed Ex is responsible for 10,000’s of jobs and bringing other suppliers & warehouses into the area. If Fed Ex ever cuts back on their Memphis operations - get out of town - fast!
Out of control negroe savages. Five words explains it all.
Tourists who cross the big muddy from Arkansas, make tracks across the bridge and then move out smartly through north Memphis to get away from that stinking city as soon as possible. Granted, on the way east Nashville is no paradise these days, but any city in the South (maybe New Orleans excepted) is more welcoming.
This involves nonwhite people, therefore, it is not a mass shooting.
