An 18-year-old was shot to death on Dodds Avenue just after midnight Saturday, and another teen was shot in the leg. Police were called to a shooting at 1700 Dodds Ave. Officers found Tyrone Stewart, 18, in the roadway suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was immediately transported to Erlanger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. While at Erlanger, police were notified a second victim - 17 years of age - was en route to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. He is listed in fair condition. According to witnesses, there was a pajama party at 1700 Dodds, and a disorder between rivals turned into a shooting. www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_124862.asp*Edited to add "Updated". |

I wonder what sort of gun would be fashionable to wear at a pajama party?

A pajama party where two males end up getting shot... I doubt the two males were "official" guests at the party. It sounds like a case of the Mexicali Blues to me. |

I was in the emergency at erlanger when this happened. Got chased out of trauma when they brought him in. The police had to keep all the folks from swarming the emergency room...then when the doctors told the family he did not make it, things got a little emotional. It was a VERY uncomfortable situation.

A pajama party? Are you shitting me? Are newswriters/public info types really willing to sound like a friggin' retard just to avoid using the word 'gang'? Obviously so.

But it was reported that the shooter had a "Hello Kitty" gun to match his sleeping bag and backpack.

Some people have to die or suffer wounds so the perp can get the proper right v wrong teaching assitance & assigned role model mentoring & judicially mandated character building lessons he needs to be able to grow into a better person.
Tough luck somebody had to die, but it's the way certain types of diversity initiatives work -- kids from some neighborhoods require the constant attention from the criminal justice system in order to learn life's lessons & mature into manhood ....

gang activity. there is way too much of it in chattanooga. I have heard no mention of gang activity. This was a pajama party, where one rival shot and killed one and injured another. There was no mention of the word gang at all. |

Which ones were attendees at the Boys' Club or had a Big Brother/Big Sister? Which ones were in the various non-profit systems -- the non-profits the City said would keep gang violence down?
