Shooting spree in Vicksburg and Warren County

A number of shootings have occurred in Vicksburg and Warren County in recent days. Last night, just before 9:30 p.m., a shooting between two cars took place in the 300 block of Grange Hall Road. At least seven Vicksburg police units responded to the shooting and blocked the road for a time while they investigated the crime scene.

Around midnight Thursday night/Friday morning, a home on Fuches Road in the county was shot up by two individuals. According to a person familiar with the matter, at least three adults and a two-year-old baby were in the house and more than 30 bullets were fired at it.

A credible source said the numerous shootings in recent days were linked. They linked the Gibson shooting in Halls Ferry, the shooting in Funches, the shooting that resulted in a car crash at the Ameristar gas station and last night's shooting at Grange Hall. Another credible and well-placed source indicated that the incidents are linked to the shooting on Locust Street on May 29.

The Vicksburg Police Department said it was preparing a news release. The Vicksburg Daily News is awaiting a call from Sheriff Pace to discuss the shooting. We will keep you updated once we have more information.
