The worst of the shootings took place in Leland, where reportedly 6 people were shot to death and at least 10 were wounded during a street celebration for Leland High School’s homecoming weekend.
Another shooting broke out at Heidelberg High School in Heidelberg, MS, a small town 80 miles east of the state capitol of Jackson. Police say 3 people were shot at the high school and two of them were killed, but the third survived. Cops reportedly took a person of interest into custody for questioning.
The last shooting occurred at South Delta High School in Rolling Fork — a town 40 miles south of Leland, where at least one person was reportedly shot, and two suspects were charged in connection with the incident. The gunshot victim was taken to a hospital but is in stable condition, according to local reports.
Authorities have not disclosed motives for any of the shootings … but they clearly have their hands full, as does the state of Mississippi.

Suspected Thief Clobbered After Pulling Gun on Cop
Published
What started out as alleged shoplifting turned into attempted murder when an Ohio man pulled a gun on a police officer inside a Walmart Thursday … and the whole thing was caught on tape.
Watch this insane video … 21-year-old Shane Newman appears anxious, chewing on his gloved fingers while sitting inside Walmart’s loss prevention office. You can see him sneakily turn his back to the camera, and when he turns back around … he produces a gun.
While aiming the weapon at an officer off-camera, you can hear what appears to be the click of Newman pulling the trigger, but the gun never goes off.
Then, all hell breaks loose. The store’s loss prevention specialist dives on Newman, knocking the gun out of his hands, before the officer rushes in with a crushing knee to Newman’s midsection. Newman is then quickly wrestled to the ground.
According to local outlet WOIO-TV, Newman was charged with attempted murder, felonious assault on a police officer, robbery, drug possession and having a weapon under disability.
A woman Newman was apprehended with — 23-year-old Katerina Jeffrey — was reportedly charged with complicity to commit a robbery.
19 News reports Newman was not allowed to own or have a firearm due to a previous felony conviction. They also report he was in possession of 50 blue pills identified as Molly — a.k.a. MDMA.
Newman was reportedly taken to Stark County Jail in Canton, Ohio.
