At around 9:15 p.m. Monday, Senior Trooper J.M. Mack and Trooper J.M. Carvell responded to Nancy's Run for a shots fired call.
"Upon arrival, both units were advised that the victim, a 19-year-old female, had been shot numerous times and was transported to Roane General Hospital," a release from State Police stated.
The woman was later flown by medical helicopter to CAMC-General Division for medical treatment, State Police said.
Upon conducting their investigation, troopers began searching for Breeden, the release said.
Special Operations K-9 and SRT Units were deployed to the scene to assist with the search for the suspect, who had fled on foot, according to the release.
