KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville officers responded to calls about a shooting Saturday on Houston Street. According to the arrest report, Knoxville Police Department officers arrived at the home, they saw several holes in the front of the house.

They said a woman in the house told them the home had been shot. The officers said they were shown the bullet holes, and also found two bullet holes in the back of a vehicle parked in the home's driveway.

The woman's mother told police that she was at her home when she heard someone banging on her door. When she said she opened the door, she saw Alexis Michelle Page, 19, and Adarius Montez Thomas, 19, according to the arrest report.

They asked about the other woman's sister, and Thomas said they were planning to beat her up. Then, she said they left.

The woman in the Houston Street house said she was sleeping when she got a call from her mother saying that people were coming to her house. She said by the time she got dressed and went to her front door, she heard someone sounding a car's horn outside.

When she stepped outside, she said she saw a dark-colored SUV on the road and said she saw Page and Thomas in the car.
