The worst of the shootings occurred in Leland, where reportedly 6 people were shot to death and at least 10 were injured during a street party for Leland High School’s homecoming weekend.
Another shooting broke out at Heidelberg High School in Heidelberg, MS, a small town 80 miles east of the state capital of Jackson. Police say three people were shot at the school and two of them were killed, but the third survived. Officers reportedly took a person of interest into custody for questioning.
The latest shooting occurred at South Delta High School in Rolling Fork — a town 40 miles south of Leland where at least one person was reportedly shot and two suspects have been charged in connection with the incident. The shooting victim was taken to the hospital, but his condition is stable, according to local reports.
Authorities have not revealed motives for either shooting… but they are clearly busy, as is the state of Mississippi.
