Benjamin Cook Arrested in Tennessee for Shooting at Sledding Family in Harrison, Faces Six Counts of Aggravated Assault
Jan 12, 2025, 08:51 PM
In East Tennessee, a man identified as Benjamin Cook was arrested after allegedly shooting at a family of six who were sledding in the snow. The incident occurred on Friday at around 11:30 a.m. in Harrison, about 15 miles outside of Chattanooga, when the family was enjoying the wintry weather. According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, Cook faces six counts of aggravated assault. The shooting took place at the 6300 block of Stoney River Drive after the family heard gunshots coming from a nearby house at the 10400 block of Birchwood Pike, with the mother witnessing snow being disturbed near her one-year-old son. Cook, who was seen carrying a black rifle, claimed the family was on his property, a claim the family denied. Deputies confirmed that the family was not on Cook's property at the time of the shooting. A search warrant executed at Cook's home led to the discovery of several rifles.
