1 man hospitalized following shooting; WCSO searches for suspect – The Vicksburg Post

A shooting Thursday evening just outside Vicksburg city limits left a man hospitalized and local law enforcement searching for the shooter, according to Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace.

“Just before 9 p.m., we received several calls about shots fired here at the intersection of Gibson Road and Halls Ferry Road,” Pace told the Post early Friday morning. “When deputies arrived, they found a vehicle and there were indications that he was involved. There was some damage that appeared to be from gunfire, but there were no casualties at the scene.

Pace said moments later, the Sheriff's Office received a call from River Region Medical Center reporting that an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds had been transported to the emergency room by a private vehicle.

“This individual was transported to University Medical Center (in Jackson),” Pace said. “At the moment, we continue to work on the file. We cannot release any further information at this time, but as soon as it becomes available I will be happy to post it.

Pace said anyone with information regarding Thursday's shooting is asked to call Vicksburg-Warren County 911 or Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS.
