CLAY COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – One person was killed and nearly a dozen others were injured during a shooting at a club in northeast Mississippi.

The shooting happened on Saturday, March 2 at the Oasis Lounge in Clay County. The club is located on Highway 45 just north of West Point.

Investigators said a 20-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was killed during the shooting, and 11 others were hurt.

Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said deputies believe there are multiple shooting suspects. Investigators said one of the suspects ran across the four lanes of Highway 45 Alternate and escaped into the woods.

The sheriff said most of the people at the nightclub were not from Clay County.

“These large gatherings right now is just not wise to do. We understand people want to go, and they want to relax, and they want to have fun, but look around us. Again, I think you are taking a chance on your life right now when you go to these large events. So, we are just advising everybody to be careful. Parents know where your kids are. Make sure they are not in an environment where they can get hurt,” Scott said.

Scott said agents from the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division have joined the investigation. He encouraged anyone with information to leave a tip through Crime Stoppers.

Elmer Harris, the owner of the club, appeared before Clay County supervisors on Monday, March 4. He told them he would voluntarily shut down the club.
