Upon entering the home and identifying themselves as law enforcement, Officers Powers and Riddle were swiftly confronted by Griffin, who was brandishing a firearm and standing perilously close to the woman. In a swift and alarming turn of events, Griffin raised his weapon and discharged a shot directly at the woman’s face upon the officers’ announcement.

In the face of imminent danger, the two officers reacted promptly, firing multiple rounds at Griffin and striking him at least once. The entire confrontation, from the officers’ entry into the residence to the moment Griffin was incapacitated, transpired in a span of fewer than 5 seconds.

Following the exchange of gunfire, the officers secured the weapon wielded by Griffin and provided assistance to the injured woman, ensuring her safety and well-being in the aftermath of the traumatic event.

The victim was subsequently transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound to her face. Fortunately, authorities confirmed that her injuries were classified as non-life-threatening, offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of this tragic episode.
