Violence runs rampant in Memphis after the winter storm

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — We’re only 12 days into the New Year and the year is already off to a violent start.

The snow that once blanketed the Mid-South is slowly melting away. Not only are the temperatures rising but tensions are as well, resulting in deadly aftermaths.

Saturday night, law enforcement agencies across Shelby County responded to at least three reported shootings.

Two of them were fatal.

It leaves people like this man who has called Memphis his home for years speechless.

“It’s so much,” he said. “It’s so much going on.”
