    MEMPHIS, Tenn. — WREG visited the building where the Wednesday mass shooting occurred in Hickory Hill. WREG investigators had recently been in the building as they shined light on a nonprofit and its work taking place there to stop gun violence and get young men on the right path. We are digging deeper into the shooting that left one man dead and five more injured. Memphis Police said they had no new information about their conditions or arrests.

Sheriff Bonner takes the stage. Thanks volunteers. Says he conceded to Paul Young. Congratulated him. He said we all want what’s best for Memphis. Tomorrow I wake up as the sheriff of Shelby County https://t.co/hsz50b2TTo

I’m told Sheriff Bonner is about to come out and give a speech. Campaign staffers just told me he was talking to Paul Young on the phone. I asked what was said. They responded he congratulated him on a great campaign
