On the morning of July 16, 2015 Chattanooga Police Department Master Patrolman Dennis Pedigo along with CPD Officers and other local agencies responded to a call of an Active Shooter at the complex for the Naval Operational Support Center and Marine Corps. Reserve Center on Amincola Highway. The active shooter ran his car through the security gate and entered the complex killing four U.S. Marines and one Navy Sailor. During the barrage of gun fire and while the officers were advancing towards the active shooter. Officer Pedigo received a demobilizing gun shot wound to his leg. There is a long road ahead - both physically and emotionally - and we are hoping to relieve some of the financial burden by raising funds for him and his family. We ask that you consider any donation, large or small, to help the Pedigo family through this unthinkably difficult time.



Please share with your friends and family on your social media pages to get the word out to help support one of our Chattanooga Officers in his time of need!!



Thank you,

Sgt. Gary Martin

Chattanooga Police Department
