Memphis police say an off-duty officer came across 3-4 thugs who were trying to steal a Dodge Charger. The thugs opened fire and the officer returned fire striking at least one of the suspects.

Eyewitnesses posted their stories on social media – along with photos of cars struck by bullets.

“How terrifying,” one person wrote. “This city is just out of control!! Bring in the National Guard.”

One woman was having dinner with her husband inside Huey’s when “the restaurant went into chaos.”

“I was locked in the freezer with other patrons,” the eyewitness wrote on social media. “A huge shout-out to the manager and employees of Huey’s who really took care of everyone getting people under tables.”

The shooting happened just hours after two people were shot in broad daylight on Beale Street.

“Out of control Memphis,” one person wrote. “This is getting so bad.”

“The law abiding citizens are being held hostage,” another wrote. “What will it take for this administration to open their freaking eyes and see what they have created.”

Unfortunately, this is what happens when the voters of Memphis elect soft-on-crime leaders.
