Livestreamer Dalton Eatherly Charged After Courthouse Shooting in Tennessee

Investigators say a confrontation he streamed ended with him opening fire.

Overview

  • Eatherly, who authorities say opened fire Wednesday outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, now faces attempted murder, aggravated assault, firearm charges, and reckless endangerment, and is in custody pending arraignment.
  • Both Eatherly and an unidentified man were treated for gunshot wounds at area hospitals and were reported stable by the sheriff’s office.
  • District Attorney Robert J. Nash said Eatherly appeared to shoot himself in the arm during the incident.
  • Video and audio from his livestream are circulating online and are under review by investigators, though the recording does not show the shooting.
  • The episode followed his weekend arrest in Nashville over an alleged unpaid $371 restaurant bill and occurred on a day he was due in Clarksville on a civil debt case.
