Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, June 1, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department received a call from a citizen who stated her car was shot while driving on Highway 471 near Coon Hunters Road. Deputies immediately responded and began searching the area. Shortly after the first call another citizen reported that their car had also been shot in the same area around the same time. Deputies continued to search area in an attempt to locate the shooter. Early this morning deputies located other bullet holes that seem to point to the direction of a nearby house. Deputies questioned the homeowner and were able to locate the firearm believed to have been used in the shooting incidents.
Three juvenile males were detained in connection with the shooting. Two of the juveniles will be transported to the Rankin County Juvenile Detention Center where the will appear in front of Rankin County Youth Court Judge Tom Broome.
The third will be charged as an adult and held at the Rankin County Adult Detention Center. Rankin County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring him before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance.

Any mention of what the yutes are being charged with? That’s some serial killer behavior.
I don't see why parents who give under-aged children firearms could not be held criminally liable if those children use the firearms to commit crimes. Certainly such parents could be held liable in a civil lawsuit.
KF—any information on the high school graduate shot and killed at the Texaco gas station on Medgar Evers Blvd a couple days ago?
Where is the outrage?? Kids shooting guns from their own home!! The post about the teens that were breaking into cars was full of comments!
Where is the mug of the third that is being charged as an adult? I have so many questions..
Don't worry yourself @2:19--Rankin County should and will come down hard on these lawbreakers: there will be no "blessing" for them. Much of the widespread frustration (as expressed in multiple comments when a crime is reported on this site) over chronic lawlessness in J'town is based on the premise that nothing (or at least not nearly enough) will be done to curtail it. Go get a latte at your favorite place in the Fondren and think about it.
This didn’t happen in Fondren or “J’town,” as you call it. Go grab yourself a 32 ounce keystone light from the gas station down the road from your trailer park, swamp, or wherever you live and think about it.
4:53 was in such a hurry to post a snarky comment they didn’t even realize how incorrect and stupid they sound. Nobody ever said it happened in fondren. Read before you remove all doubt about yourself.
4:53 we can’t buy 32oz singles in Rankin County...so there’s that.
@8:16 - understand your quandray. So I'll help you and your PHS math a little; settle for two 16 ounce ones. (That's the regular size you see most often.)

You don’t get it. Our blue laws in Rankin require the purchase of a 6 pack or larger. And it must be carried out in a bag so as not to frighten the pearl clutchers. I can buy a 6 pack of 32oz beers. But I can’t buy one or 2.
The Shell station at the corner of Grants Ferry and Spillway has a greater craft beer selection than anywhere in Fondren. I went to a fish fry out that way last weekend and they had kimchi instead of coleslaw. No lie. My cousin's brother's uncle is the manager out there at the Home Depot in Brandon and he said they can't keep bidets in stock. Y'all act all bad, driving around in your F150s, but everybody knows there's jasmine tea in that Yeti in the cupholder.
Glad nobody was hurt. In New Orleans years ago a kid dropped a red brick through my windshield, can still see his smiling face. Nobody hurt thankfully. In NC working as a public health RN while visiting a needy sick old lady my wife had her car shot.
Commit crimes alone and never change you r first lie. Advise my great uncle gave me.
Nothing good ever happens on "Coon Hunter's Road"
Name ? Charged as an adult but doesn't have a name ? Anyway, WTH is wrong with our youth ? WE used rocks.
