UPDATE (5:41 PM): UMMC students and employees can cross North State Street to go to parking lot. NSS still blocked off. Per Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey, JPD is searching for two suspects. Black males.
There was no active shooter at UMMC itself. The shooting took place on the street in front of garage. Echoes made it sound as if it took place in garage. Not that it makes much difference if you are actually at UMMC.
UPDATE (5:10 PM): ALL CLEAR bulletin issued. SEARCH FOR SUSPECT UNDERWAY. SUSPECT VEHICLE IS A BLACK NISSAN ALTIMA with a CANNON NISSAN PAPER TAG.
Parking garage B. This is NOT a drill!!!!! UMMC just sent out the following text messages:

"Active shooter at Parking Garage B. This is not a drill. RUN to safety. HIDE in a locked room. FIGHT as a last resort and only when your life is in danger. All individuals off campus are to stay away. Campus police are responding. Follow instructions from law enforcement. Standby for more information.
There was a shooting at Woodrow Wilson and North State Street. Mother with baby fled into garage. Baby was apparently hit. Witness said it was between 10 and 12 shots. Lady came to ER at UMMC. Her child was shot in chest. She was sitting at intersection. Black car was chased into the parking garage between Levels B and C.
There were apparently two children shot. One child was shot in arm, one was shot in abdomen. They are in STABLE condition. Children are a 15 month old female and three-year old male. Mother told police a car pulled up next to her's and someone shot into the car.

Perception of crime-
So glad I left UMMC, then Mississippi altogether. Hopeless.
Leave you hate Jackson and Hate Mississippi comments behind. There were two small children shot. There’s no room for your wickedness.
Knock the tribalism crap off. Not approving the comments.
My daughter is a Nurse at UMMC and she said that it was chaos. People were terrified that there was an active shooter roaming the grounds. The person that did this is an animal. The children and their mother were most likely his targets. This is a person known to the family. He needs to be found and moved away from civilized society.
Prayers for these two babies. What a horrible thing to happen to anyone, let alone small children. A chest wound? Very painful and hard to repair. Idiots with guns need to be put under the jail. I am sick of shootings! Just plain out wrong and needs stiff punishment and never bond. Please Hinds County DA's office and Judges, stop this stuff. It does not matter if you think they can be rehabilitated. Let the criminals stay in jail for at least what the law allows.
One more reason to get every single gun off our streets. I've been praying all evening for those poor children.
One way to stop all the BS with comments when its something tragic---dont allow anonymous post..I always sign my name, dont dare hide.

Probably going to be either one of Phil’s HB 585 boys or someone Tommie Green let back into the street. Not sure who is worse
Round up the usual suspect.
8:44, you’ll NEVER get all the guns off the streets. Banning them will only get the LEGAL ones. Those aren’t typically the folks who do drivebys.
You the man Jimmy!! Oops! I forgot to sign my name.
There's no proof you are Jimmy Taylor.
What's so sad is all this tragic stuff happens over the Christmas season. People act like animals & where is Law & Order to protect us? Searching for the fools who hung nooses at the capitol. Why doesn't the NAACP deal with the true problem Black on Black genocide.
Honor among thieves doesn't exist anymore.
I was amazed at every law enforcement agency that responded. Everyone with a gun, badge and blue lights in this city responded.
In this day and age “gun control” is a moot question. You can print a gun on some computers. Far better to demand that people who live among others must be civilized.
Surely the mother of these victims knows who hates her enough to try to kill her children.
Civilized, responsible, rational minded, respectable gun owners don’t do this type of behavior. We know we would lose our 2nd Amendment rights. Now, there are a few who have done terrible things in the past but that is so small of a percentage. Tragic yes. Channel 3, Howard Ballou said the woman knew the person who shot into the car and it was 2 black males.
“Gun Control Impossible,” Says Only Western Nation Without Gun Control
Should be easy to identify this jagoff with paper plates which indicates a recent sale, unless the vehicle owner never got around to it over an extended period of time. I’d hate to be working at Cannon Nissan this morning.
I’m willing to bet that the shooter borrowed the vehicle.
7:16; please present a paper to the class outlining your steps to keep guns out of the hands of people like these two perps. Limit, two pages in outline form. Thanks in advance.
Did CNN or MSMBC pick this up? Didn't think so...
7:47 AM, I love it how they report on a random bus crashing in Upstate NY or whether or not Trump gets two scoops of ice cream, but a shooting of two children in front of a state hospital? Nah.
CNN is truly the enemy of the people.
The criminal injustice system hard at work. These punks don’t deserve jail.
Why is The Rankin County sheriff making the announcement?
7:47 Why would they? Kids get shot every day. Needs something extra to make it spicy.
Anyone want to bet if the perps have rap sheets that indicate they should have already been in jail ? I'll give odds !
There is a black, rather low slung car, that travels south on I55N into Jackson with a dirty Cannon Paper Tag. Gets off at Northside Dr., if I remember correctly. I thought maybe it was just being "test driven". But, of all the tags in town, this would be the easiest to duplicate and use over and over on different cars. Why even duplicate, just steal one.
The aspect of this event that brought out ALL of the local media with expanded coverage was the location causing an Active Shooter alert for UMMC. If it occurred at North West and Taylor Sts, suspect there wouldn’t have been 5 minutes of coverage.
What makes this shooting any different than the hundreds of others that have happened lately? We have seen kids shot, some killed, and it barely made the news.
I was there. Police response was... poor and endangering to the public. UMMC response was by the book, but the book doesn't address the situation, and therefore the UMMC response was mostly useless.
Did the police check with Cannon dealership to see who had bought a black Nissan sedan recently?
@11:57am Did you come up with that after watching CSI Miami or Law and Order? Could our police be better? Yes. Are they farking morons? No.
