Probation Office Shooting Leaves Man Dead, Woman Injured, Maryville Police Chief Says

Maryville, TN (WOKI) One man is dead and a woman is injured following a shooting Thursday morning at the office of adult probation in Maryville.

Officials with the Maryville Police Department say an active shooter call prompted a large police response around 10:00 a.m. at Blount County’s adult probation office.

The caller told police that two people, a man and a woman, had been shot; they were later identified as 39-year-old Brian Steven Yates and 43-year-old Rikki Nicole Allen.

MPD says Yates shot Allen then himself. Officials add that the two share two children, but neither were present during the shooting.

No other injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
