A man in Tennessee has been arrested and charged with shooting at a family who were sledding and playing in the snow. The incident occurred on Friday in the 6300 block of Stoney River Drive.
Police arrested a man and charged him with shooting at a family when they were sledding and playing in the snow in Tennessee on Friday. According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO), four children were sledding down a hill in the 6300 block of Stoney River Drive when the family heard gunshots. The children's mother told deputies she saw snow fly up from the ground only a couple feet from where her one-year-old son was.
Deputies said the family yelled in the direction of the shooting and yelled for the man, Benjamin Cook, to stop. But an affidavit from HSCO states, 'Cook has a history of firing guns in the area and also telling people this hill is his private property.' 2 counts of unlawful possession of a weaponPossession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felonyResidents like Jody Leisure said this isn’t the first time this has happened but hopes it is the last. 'What are they doing with him? What's going to happen? Because he doesn't need to be around anybody, especially children,' Leisure told WTVC. After obtaining a search warrant, deputies found several rifles inside his home and discovered the family was not on Cook's property when they were sledding. 'People just kind of shrug it off,' Leisure said. 'We're all kind of concerned, you know. And I always said this is the kind you see on the news.' WTVC went to the scene and saw Hamilton County deputies searching the area with what appeared to be metal detectors. When asked what they were looking for, HCSO said they are “continuing with their investigation as per the initial release, but there are no additional details to offer at this time.
