MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Deputies in the Memphis suburb of Cordova shot and wounded a knife-carrying suspect on Thursday, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating.
Shelby County deputies were responding to a report that someone was driving erratically after a hit-and-run, when they encountered Edmond Otis Studdard walking down the road with a knife, a bureau statement said.
The TBI provided few details of the confrontation, other than deputies fired two shots at Studdard, who was taken to a hospital where his condition was not immediately available.
Separately, emergency dispatchers received a call about a possible suicide attempt at the location of the shooting, resulting in a person being taken by ambulance to a hospital, Shelby County Fire Department spokesman Brent Perkins said.
