“This is no longer an active shooter situation. The suspect is currently barricaded,” the Smyrna Police Department said in an update posted Tuesday afternoon. “Law enforcement remains on scene. Please continue to avoid the area and follow official updates.”

The incident began earlier in the day near Lee Victory Parkway at Legacy Wine & Spirits, where officers responded to reports of an armed individual. Police have not confirmed whether any shots were fired or if there are any victims.
