On the evening of Saturday, July 31, 2021, 24-year-old Kelsy LeAnn Cook was shot in the neck in the parking lot of Soaky Mountain Waterpark in Sevierville, Tennessee. She was in a vehicle when Sarah Romine, an off-duty EMT from Knoxville, fired a gun into the car. Cook was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center but died of her injuries. Another woman, Angie Russell, was shot in the leg after getting out of a different car to confront Romine.

Authorities arrested Sarah Romine, who faced second-degree murder, several counts of assault, and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. Joshua Daniels, identified as an off-duty paramedic who was with Romine, was arrested on a possession of a firearm while intoxicated charge. The shooting led Soaky Mountain Waterpark to suspend alcohol sales for the remainder of that year.

Kelsy Cook, a Lenoir City High School graduate, was remembered as a loving daughter, sister, and friend.
