VICKSBURG, Miss. (WJTV) – Vicksburg police are investigating three shootings that may be connected to a domestic-related dispute.
Vicksburg Police Chief Penny Jones said officers responded to a shots fired call on Arcadia Street around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 27. While investigating, they received another call about shots being fired in the area of 2nd North Street.
Jones said both incidents were determined to be connected. Shortly afterwards, police responded to a hospital where a 23-year-old man arrived with gunshot wounds. He was later transported to a Jackson hospital for treatment.
The police chief said a 19-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to her ear.
According to Jones, the preliminary investigation suggests the shooting stemmed from a domestic-related dispute between two men involving the woman. The police chief said the incident may also be connected to a shooting that occurred early Saturday morning.
