"KNOXVILLE, TN — A young child was shot to death Saturday night and a female relative was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in critical condition in what police are investigating as a homicide-attempted suicide, Lt. Tim Snoderly of the Knoxville Police Department said.
"The Knoxville Fire Department received an injured person call from the KenJo Market on Merchant Drive at Central Avenue Pike at around 9 p.m., where the child and relative were found in a bathroom.
"The identities of the child, whom Snoderly said was younger than age 10, and the woman were not released pending notification of the family.
"Snoderly said law enforcement also knew where they were from, although he would not disclose that information. He did say they were not from Knoxville, but from `from the surrounding area.`
"The child was pronounced dead at the scene. The body was taken to the UT Regional Forensic Center.
"The market was sealed off and the area flooded with emergency vehicles Saturday night included KPD, KFD and Rural Metro.
"Snoderly said police are still investigating the circumstances around the shooting."
