Four people were killed in an attack in Leland, while two were killed in Heidelberg, amid a third attack in Rolling Fork
Six people were killed and 18 others injured in three separate shootings at high school football homecoming celebrations in Mississippi, according to a number of local officials on Saturday.
The most fatal incident took place around midnight on Friday in Leland, where four people died, John Lee, the mayor of the small city in Washington county, western Mississippi, said on Saturday morning. At least 16 were wounded in that incident, with four in critical condition airlifted to the state capital of Jackson and 12 others treated at local hospitals.
Lee said that an attack happened on a main street in Leland, where crowds had gathered following the town’s high school homecoming game against Charleston high school.
Few details have been confirmed, but local media reported that state senator Derrick Simmons said the shooting occurred during a gathering after the game.
