JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a shooting that occurred in the 1800 block of Oakland Ave, just before 1:00pm.
Officers responded to a call of a fifteen year old
being shot in the head. When they arrived, they found a black female
inside a residence suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the
lower extremities.
Witnesses told police that the victim was inside
the residence lying on a bed when a vehicle pulled up and fired shots
inside the residence, striking the victim before driving off. There is
no known motive or suspect information at this
time.

Let's see if this gets the same response from "community leaders" that a black male being shot by a white police officer would generate.
Will we see protests?, rioting?, looting? Will Al Sharpton make an appearance? Will the Southern Poverty Law Center show up?
I bet not.
5:02PM, What time will you be protesting?
Hey 5:02 people have Stop the Violence Rallies, speaking engagements, community outreach all the time. Would be great to see you at some, but you post anonymously on this so I'll just hold my breath.
Awful. Awful. Awful.
Prayers for a full recovery.
@ 5:20......
I don't shoot people, so I'm not the one you need to worry about.
Plus, my solution to the crime problem is not a rally, conference or other waste of time.
What is going on at this house? Second shooting in a matter of weeks.
From WLBT's story on the shooting on Oakland: "On March 5, JPD was called to the same address after two people were shot." Hmmm. Does anybody else see a pattern here?
IF they find the perp(s) and that's a big if I will bet the first taker $100 that he(they) are not first time offenders. They may not have killed anyone but I'll guarantee they have a rap sheet. There are too many convicted criminals who should already be incarcerated roaming the streets of Jackson.
Ha!
Remember what happened at the last Stop the Violence rally? Shots fired and a breathless video correspondent trying desperately to find her "muthafuckin' cah."
The rallies are useless. Know where you are coming from Theca, but they are completely useless other than serving as a way for people to vent their frustration.
The people have to get fed up and come together to demand a complete housecleaning of the Hinds County criminal justice system. The same people are elected yet a different result is expected.
The Mayor takes well over a year to pick a permanent police chief. The judges and DA point fingers at each other while the dockets grow longer and the jail stays stuffed to the max. Cases sit on the docket too long yet nothing is done about it. People don't hold their elected leaders accountable and surprise, nothing changes.
This is what the people wanted, this is what they keep voting for, so keep on having rallies. You are going to have even more rallies until you get mad as hell and clean house.
This is what happens when ol' blood and guts Baby Chock runs off to a Haaarvard "leadership" conference and thus Jackson is lacking his superb leadership.
The folks living at that address should move. Shucks, there are lots of available and free homes in the area.
Note to self:For well being and prosperity, avoid that block of Oakland Ave, or most of Jackson in general.
Stay away from any street named "Oakland" or "MLK." Just sayin'.
