SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Nearly one year after a shooting at a Shelbyville carnival left one person injured, authorities announced they arrested a teenager Friday afternoon in connection with an online shooting threat against the event.
The Shelbyville Police Department said a 17-year-old was taken into custody on Friday, May 23 for posting a threat about the Madison Street Carnival on Snapchat, but there's no word on what charge(s) the suspect faces.
According to officials, the minor had been involved in the carnival shooting on May 31, 2024, which sent a man to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A few days after the shooting, law enforcement reported Cam Fite, of Shelbyville, had been arrested for aggravated assault while 'another male juvenile' was arrested for aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a weapon. However, no additional details were released about those two individuals.
