| Bunch borrowed his relative's car without telling them. The relative did not report it stolen but someone else did. Instead of waiting for Bunch to return to the house with the car, Clairborne County deputies searched and pursued Bunch, who, according to police, allegedly fired shots. However, those claims are unsubstantiated, as "neither the TBI, nor any law enforcement department at the scene retained and tested those weapons, but instead returned them to (the widow)... had they been fired... they would have been retained..." Multiple LE agencies pursued until Bunch stopped due to an engine blowout. He then exited and allegedly created a standoff which included hostage negotiators. During the alleged standoff, Bunch was shot "no less than 10 times." | knoxnews.com |
