Wed morning shooting at a medical office. Suspect shot his wife. Sheriff confirms suspect was then shot by a patient with a concealed carry permit who detained the suspect at gunpoint for arrest by responding officers. Victim and suspect taken to hospital. Victim reported to have died in hospital.
""A concealed carry permit holder saw the threat, took action on the threat and stood by until officers arrived," said Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy. "We're calling him a hero today."
"The incident was called in at David A. Guy Dentistry at 9:47 a.m. The first Sullivan County Sheriff's Office deputy arrived to the scene, 150 Clinic Drive, six minutes later. Kingsport police and the Tennessee Highway Patrol also responded, with dozens of officers soon on the scene."
I don't know how this is gonna work out in the long run. Every medical office I have visited around here is posted as a gun-free zone.
