Over the course of seven hours last night, Memphis Police responded to at least five shootings that resulted in the deaths of at least five people.
Starting Tuesday afternoon outside a Frayser McDonald’s, a man was shot and killed.
Two hours later, police were called to a shooting and attempted carjacking at the Frayser Village Shopping Center that left one apartment complex security guard in critical condition.
Officers were then called to a residence on Cleoford Avenue an hour after that, in connection with a fatal shooting of two more people.
Another shooting was reported on South Wellington Street in South Memphis a little after midnight. At the scene, another man was declared deceased.
Officers responded to another shooting in Whitehaven ten minutes after that case.
The Whitehaven shooting happened at a gas station near East Shelby Drive. One man was found dead at the scene.
In the majority of these shootings, no suspect information has been made public.
