"There is no dispute. We know exactly what happened," Hendersonville Police Chief Blair Myhand told local outletWYFF. "This was a matter-of-fact shooting. Based on what we see in the surveillance video, this was a far overreaction to the situation that was happening."

Ivey was apprehended nearby at Edneyville Elementary School later that day when a resource deputy member recognized him as he picked up a relative from school.

Reed, who was from Johnson City, Tennessee, had been in town less than a week. Myhand said police had received multiple calls about her "erratic and alarming behavior" that weekend.

"We are concentrating on ensuring our people receive the support they need, and are making crisis counselors available to all employees.
