Shots Fired At Rockwood Wal-Mart Rockwood Police and Roane County deputies were called to the Rockwood Wal-Mart Sunday night (12/13) after someone fired gunshots from a passing car. A deputy leaving the store at around 7 pm Sunday heard the shots and saw two cars flee the area and called in for backup. The car that was apparently being targeted ran out of gas in front of the nearby Sonic Drive-in and two people ran inside the restaurant and hid in the bathroom while the car the shots allegedly came from disappeared into the night. Police officers and deputies took two people inside the Sonic into custody for questioning but at last report it was unclear if any charges had been filed. No one was hurt in the shooting despite the fact that the parking lot was crowded with holiday shoppers. Sources close to the investigation tell BBB-TV that the incident may have started after a botched home invasion in Cumberland County earlier in the evening.
