MARSHALL COUNTY, Miss. — A group of shooters accused of putting the lives of multiple people in danger is on the run.
Now, one law enforcement officer told WREG that if these people aren’t arrested soon, violence could strike again.
“These individuals shouldn’t be taken lightly,” Commander Kelly McMillen said. “They shot these people’s house up. There’s no remorse for life.”
Commander McMillen said it happened February 12 just after 2 a.m. on Bonner Street in Holly Springs.
“We have experienced multiple shootings here in Holly Springs and based on those investigations, what we understand and learned and developed, a lot of those individuals are either teenagers or very young adults,” McMillen said.
Deputies said they found 15 to 20 shell casings inside the home.
“There was an elderly female who was in a wheelchair. When she started hearing the rounds coming inside the house, she abandoned her wheelchair and fell face first on the floor,” McMIllen said.
McMillen added that he was shocked that no one was hurt.
“Three other adults in the upstairs area inside the residence took cover and then one of those adults took a minor child and kinda covered him to keep him from being struck by gunfire,” McMillen said.
Investigators said they have some clues about the gunmen but not enough to arrest anyone.
“We believe that there is some gang activity involved in this,” McMillen said. “One of these incidents happened while vehicles were passing in the road. It’s not like they target a central location; they target wherever they see these individuals at.”
McMillen said that’s why it’s important for anyone who may know anything about the Bonner Street shooting or any of the other Holly Springs shootings to call investigators.
“Until we make some arrests, we do believe there could be other incidents that could take place,” McMillen said.
