Birmingham Man Arrested in Tennessee for Shooting That Injured 2, Including 15-Year-Old Girl

A suspect has been charged in a Jefferson County shooting that wounded two people, including a 15-year-old girl, one week ago today.

Christopher Andrew Perine, 48, faces two counts of attempted murder, one count of first-degree domestic violence, and one count of third-degree domestic violence, sheriff’s officials announced Wednesday.

Deputies were dispatched at 11:40 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11, to the 2300 block of Grayson Valley Drive following a report of two people shot, said sheriff’s spokesman Henry Irby.

Upon arrival, they found a 49-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl injured.

Center Point Fire and Rescue transported the man to UAB Hospital, while the teen girl was taken to Children’s of Alabama.

According to jail records, Perine was taken into custody on Friday, July 12, by the Tennessee State Patrol. He was booked into Loudon County Jail, where he remained as of Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities have stated that the shooting was domestic-related but have not disclosed a motive or the relationship between Perine and the two victims.

“The coordination of our detectives, the Birmingham and Knoxville FBI Field Offices, and the Tennessee State Patrol worked together in apprehending this suspect quickly and without incident,’’ said Sheriff Mark Pettway.
