A student was killed, and four others were wounded after gunfire broke out Friday night at a Tennessee park where teens had gathered for a pre-prom photo session, authorities said.
Officers responded to the 900 block of Key Corner Street — Webb Banks Passive Park in Brownsville, about 60 miles northeast of Memphis — and found five people suffering from gunshot wounds. All five victims were taken to a local hospital, where one was later pronounced dead, a spokesperson for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) told Fox News Digital.
“TBI special agents are working alongside the Brownsville Police Department to investigate an apparent homicide that left multiple individuals injured,” the spokesperson said.

Haywood County Schools identified the victim as student Saturah Hayes and announced schools would be closed Monday to allow students, staff and families time to grieve.
The school district also said prom had ended early following the incident.
“Saturah was a hard-working student with a positive attitude. She was full of potential and promise with hopes and plans for the future that will now remain unrealized,” the district wrote in a statement on Facebook.
“We can only hope to uplift her family as they attempt to work through this time of profound grief. We mourn not only the loss of a young life, but also the future unrealized. She will be greatly missed.”
Haywood County Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr. described the shooting as a “senseless tragic event” that disrupted what should have been a celebration.
“I will commit this sheriff’s office and all our resources, to bring justice for her family. Our county is a great place to live and is a strong, close knit community, especially in times like these,” Garrett Jr. said.
