Man robbed, shot at East Ridge motel
Chattanooga police have surrounded a home where a robbery suspect is holed up, according to the department’s Twitter feed.
“We’ve been called out to a barricaded robbery suspect who is wanted in connection with an incident committed in East Ridge,” the department tweeted.
“1800-2200 E. 28th St. is currently closed as a precautionary measure. Please avoid area.”
The department’s tweets didn’t say whether the action is connected to Sunday’s armed robbery at an East Ridge motel where a man said he was ambushed and shot.
