The mass shooting in Leland, Mississippi Friday night wasn’t the only one in the state … police say there were two more shootings in different towns.
Cops say after the dust settled from the three shooting incidents, a total of 8 people were dead and around a dozen were injured.

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.
