Chattanooga Police had responded at 5:28 p.m. to a person shot call in the 3400 block of Fourth Avenue. When officers arrived, they found a 30-year-old woman with non-life threatening injuries.

Police said the victim was inside a vehicle when a suspect in another vehicle began shooting at the vehicle occupied by the victim.
The suspect and suspect vehicle left the area after the shooting.

During the investigation multiple shell casings were recovered and video evidence was collected.
