Coopertown, Tennessee
On Monday, May 17, 2021, at approximately 5:30 pm, officers were dispatched to a shooting located in Coopertown. Officers arrived to find 22-year-old, Justin Quistopher Webb lying on the ground, being held at gunpoint by the homeowner. The victims advised that Webb came on their property and shot at a woman as she was exiting her vehicle.
The woman ran away from the gunfire, ducking between two vehicles, trying to create distance between her and the shooter. Webb continued to shoot toward the direction of the victim, which appeared that he was actively trying to injure or kill her. The woman then ran toward the camper in the backyard to take cover. The victim’s husband saw what was happening, grabbed his pistol, and took two shots toward the subject. After the husband fired two rounds toward Webb, Webb threw the gun near the driveway and laid on the ground until police arrived.
The victim and Webb have known each other for years and their relationship is client-based. No injuries were reported. However, the victim did suffer a panic attack and was evaluated by medics. Webb was taken into custody and has been charged with Attempted First Degree Murder, Felony Reckless Endangerment, Possession of Stolen Property, and Possession of a Firearm while in the act of committing a dangerous felony.
Webb is being held at the Robertson County Detention Facility with a no bond for attempted first-degree murder, $25,000 bond for possession of stolen property, $20,000 bond for the possession of a firearm while committing a dangerous felony, and $8,000 bond on the felony reckless endangerment. It appears this was a targeted attack and the surrounding community is safe from this event. The responding agencies were the Coopertown Police Department, Robertson County Sheriff’s Office, and Robertson County EMS.
