One woman has been arrested on charges including second-degree attempted murder - and two other suspects are being sought - in connection with a drug-related home invasion that left one person shot in the leg, police said.
La-Drey Ya 'Wonn Gross, 20, was among three people involved in the Friday afternoon robbery at the Vista Apartments on East Hill Avenue, according to a Knoxville Police Department news release.

The trio barged into a 47-year-old woman's apartment and demanded her medication, arrest warrants state.
After the victim drew her meds on the floor, one of the two other unidentified suspects shot the woman in her left, upper leg.
The victim told police the gunman attempted to shoot her again, but lost his balance, giving her the chance to hide behind her bed, out of the line of fire, according to the warrants. The trio then fled the scene.
Gross was arrested Sunday during a traffic stop when police spotted her driving a stolen vehicle that matched the description of the getaway car.
Gross remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of $140,000 bond on charges that also include especially aggravated robbery, especially aggravated burglary, theft of property, driving on a revoked license and simple possession of marijuana.
The remaining two suspects still at-large were described as a male and a young juvenile.
