The Walnut Street Bridge as shown from Coolidge Park at night with a long exposure.Two teens who told Chattanooga police they witnessed gunfire on the Walnut Street Bridge Saturday could help investigators determine whether violence actually erupted among a crowd of youths that night.
But there is still no evidence that any shots were actually fired, said police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary.
Bystanders around Coolidge Park Saturday night called police to report the sound of gunshots coming from the bridge, but responding officers said they found no evidence of a shooting that night.
On Monday, police reported that they believed the sound could have been fireworks.
Weary said police are still investigating the incident, but at this point there’s not enough evidence to press any charges.
