At approximately 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, Bradley County deputies arrived at a residence on McClanahan Drive in northwestern Bradley County in response to a reported stabbing. During the course of their investigation, they were alerted to flames on the residence from an apparent structure fire that was started after their arrival.

Investigation has revealed that a male suspect by the name of Michael Park stabbed one male victim. The two lived together in the residence that Park later set fire to. The victim is being treated and expected to be discharged later today.

Bradley County fire fighters successfully cleared the structure. The residence received heavy smoke and water damage.

Michael Park is currently in custody and being charged with Attempted Murder and False Reports.

Tennessee expects to start receiving 90,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines a week going forward, Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey said Tuesday, as the state continued to try to fend off one of the biggest surges in new coronavirus cases per capita in the country.

In a video call with reporters, Piercey said the vaccines would be in addition to those already on their way, and the weekly supplies could start coming in as early as next week. As of Tuesday morning, 24,200 people in Tennessee have been vaccinated with their first dose, Piercey said.

So far, the state estimates receiving upwards of 67,000 doses of the Pfizer shot, which are being used on hospital workers. The number counts one or two extra doses expected in Pfizer’s vials. The state is also getting an “unexpected” shipment of an additional 40,000 Pfizer doses this week, Piercey said.
