The shooting took place about 2:30 a.m, but two hours prior to the shooting video footage shows a group of guys assaulting an officer. The suspect was seen on video squaring up with the officer while the person recording the footage can be heard saying, ?knock his a** out, go ahead beat his a**.? After that altercation a shooting happened at S. B.B. King Boulevard and Peabody Place. ?It was crazy,? said an eyewitness who works at a nearby bar on Beale Street. ?8 to 10 people were trying to jump over our fence and get into our door.?

Another witness said he heard the shots ring out and ?can?t fathom the thought of more violence here.? Another witness, Ereale Scott, was asked about how she felt about the ongoing violence in Memphis and she simply responded by saying, ?I?m not surprised.? The eight victims were taken to several different hospitals, all in non-critical condition. The victims ages rage from 14-years-old to 54-years-old. Posted By Ghost
