MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A court hearing on a mental evaluation for the man charged after Memphis Police said he fired a shot into a TV station along the Highland Strip has been continued until February 2024.
Jarrad Nathan is charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. He remains in the Shelby County Jail on $275,000 bond.
During his first court hearing in May, a public defender was requested, and the mental evaluation was ordered.
About 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 2, 2023, there were reports of a shot fired into the FOX13 Memphis station in the 400 block of South Highland. Several FOX 13 employees told ABC24 the gunman shot into the building through security doors with a rifle. We were told no one was injured.
Memphis Police said they arrived on the scene of a potential armed party at Ubee's in the 500 block of South Highland, just a couple doors down from the TV station.
The University of Memphis urged its students and staff to remain indoors since the situation was close to campus.
