An 18-year-old arrested and charged in connection with the shooting of two teens over the weekend had three months left on his probation for assault and theft charges when the incident happened.
Dennis Moore told Chattanooga police that the Saturday morning shooting outside Xcape Ultra Lounge, 2510 E. Main St., was part of a gang rivalry, a department spokeswoman said.
Police say Moore shot one teen in the toe and another in the foot while firing into the crowd outside the club.
The club recently opened, and police have not had many calls to the location, police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary said.
“The incident itself was a gang-related incident,” the sergeant said, but she did not have further information on what sparked the shooting.
