Police in Memphis, Tennessee, warned residents to shelter in place as a man drives around the city shooting at people on Wednesday night, the AP reports. Memphis police said a 19-year-old man driving a light blue Infiniti was responsible for multiple shootings in the city. Police said he later switched vehicles to a grey SUV. It was not immediately known if anyone had been killed. Police said he was still at large and he was recording his actions on Facebook. He has been identified as Ezekiel Kelly, Fox 13 Memphis reports. The station says that in one video, he is seen walking into an AutoZone, aiming the gun at a man, and pulling the trigger. In that video, he claims to have shot five people.
The University of Memphis sent a message to students saying a shooting had been reported near the campus. Rhodes College, which is about 4 miles away from the university, advised students on and off campus to shelter in place. “If you do not have to be out, stay indoors until this is resolved," Memphis police said on Twitter. The Memphis Area Transit Authority has halted bus and trolley service indefinitely due to the "current danger," MATA said in a statement.
