A Florida high school teacher was arrested and charged over the weekend for allegedly shooting his wife and brother-in-law while at a wedding in Tennessee.
Cody Wiggins, 29, opened fire with a semi-automatic handgun at the Marriott of Cool Spring around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, the Franklin Police Department said in a statement.
Wiggins fled the scene on foot, but was soon found in a nearby subdivision, police said.
“The arrested suspects are the husband and brother-in-law of the two victims. They were all in Franklin to attend a wedding,” police said.
Both victims were transported to Vanderbilt Hospital, and their current conditions are unknown.
Wiggins is now pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder, one count of domestic assault, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence, according to authorities.
He is being held in the Williamson County Jail on a $3.5 million bond, according to WEAR.
Cody Wiggins was arrested on Saturday night.
As of Tuesday afternoon, authorities had not disclosed a possible motive for the incident.
Before his arrest, Wiggins was an English teacher at West Florida High School in Pensacola, the Pensacola News Journal reported.
“In compliance with Florida law and the provisions of the Escambia County School District contract, the employee will be suspended immediately,” Escambia Schools Superintendent Keith Leonard said in response to questions about Wiggins’ continued relationship with the school.
“We will continue to work with law enforcement as the case progresses,” Leonard added.
