Chattanooga Community Shaken by Double Shooting Incident

In a shocking turn of events, a Chattanooga man named Da’Shaun Foster, just 21 years old, has been arrested following a disturbing shooting that left two teenagers hospitalized. The incident took place in the early hours of February 9, 2025, around 1:03 a.m. at 5222 Woodland View Circle.

Teen Victims in Critical Condition

According to reports from the Chattanooga Police Department, they received frantic calls about a shooting and rushed to the scene.

Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg, but thankfully, his injuries are considered non-life-threatening.

Details of the Incident

Witnesses have played a crucial role in piecing together the events that unfolded that fateful night. It appears that Foster got into a heated argument with a man known only as “Smoke” before the shooting occurred.

The investigation ramped up quickly as law enforcement executed a search warrant at Foster’s home. During their search, authorities discovered both shell casings and the very firearm that had been used in the shooting incident. It’s a worrying reminder of the escalating violence that can occur when conflicts spiral out of control.

Charges and Legal Proceedings

As a result of the shooting, Foster now faces serious legal consequences. He has been charged with three counts of Attempted First Degree Murder and three counts of Aggravated Assault. Currently, he is being held at the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center with a hefty bond set at $50,000. Foster is scheduled to appear in court on February 18, 2025, and the eyes of the community will undoubtedly be watching closely as this case unfolds.
