The shooting at a Pilot gas station in White Pine, Tennessee, during a custodial exchange on January 3, 2022, resulted in multiple deaths and devastated a Greeneville community. Sixteen-year-old Teagan Welch, a junior at Greeneville High School who participated in band and the bowling team, was shot during the altercation and later died of her wounds on January 6, 2022. Both men involved in the confrontation — 48-year-old Christopher Ray Welch and 58-year-old Rev. Kenny Cook — were also critically wounded; Christopher Welch was pronounced dead at the scene and Rev. Cook later died of his injuries.

Authorities including the White Pine Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation treated the incident as a domestic-related shooting and investigated the sequence of events during the custodial exchange. Because the individual believed to have fired the shots died at the scene, the case did not proceed through an arrest or trial.

Anyone who knew Teagan, her family, or who witnessed the exchange at the Pilot on January 3, 2022, is asked to share information that could clarify what happened that day?
