This morning the Chattanooga police reported two separate shooting incidents that happened Sunday night.
According to a press release, investigators went to Erlanger at 7 p.m. where Damien High, 29, of Dalton, Ga. told them he had been shot and robbed on Pinewood Drive. He was wounded in the lower torso and is in intensive care. Later, he changed his story and said he had not been robbed.
In a second incident just before 12 a.m., the police went to Erlanger to interview Michael Appiah, 26, of Chattanooga. He told officers he had left a gas station on East Brainerd Road when he noticed someone following him. He tried to get away but then he got a flat tire. He stopped on Youngstown Road to check on it and told police he heard someone call his name. He said he then saw a vehicle come toward him with its high beams on and said there were shots fired. Mr. Appiah was wounded in the upper left arm and drove himself to the hospital where he was treated and released.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to call the Chattanooga Police Department.
