Interstate Shooting in Jackson

 A shooting victim is thankful to be alive after he survived a shotgun attack while trying to get on I-20 in Jackson yesterday.  

The victim, "Mike", operates a door-service business.  He finished a job in south Jackson and got on to Highway 18 to go home.  He was in the right lane at the stop light just before the I-20E entrance ramp.  

As Mike drove onto the ramp, a car on his left served over and tried to run him off the road.  He waved his arm so they could see him. The car was a four-door royal blue sedan with a bumper held in place by black tape.  The windows were tinted. Both windows on the right side of the car rolled down, revealing four black men in the car. 

One of the men pointed a shotgun at him and fired.  Mike said it was a 12 gauge shotgun with a muzzle brake. Buckshot struck his back and neck as shown in the photo posted above.  A second shot missed him. Frightened but not frozen,  Mike swerved off in the grass to get away from his assailants.  The shooters sped away on the interstate.   He said no words had been exchanged between the two vehicles nor had there been any display of road rage.

Mike wondered if he was about to die as he felt blood gush down his neck.  He tried to flag down motorists passing by.  A nurse stopped, treated him, and called 911.  A security guard stopped as well and took him to UMC.  JPD met Mike at the hospital and interviewed him. 

Doctors removed most of the pellets.  Thankfully, none of the pellets struck "anything vital." The pellets that struck his neck would have killed him if any of them were 1 centimeter forward.

 One pellet remains near his spine but the physician said it shouldn't be removed unless it became life-threatening or caused pain.  

Mike said he is ok and will be fine although "it hasn't hit me yet."

Absolutely insane. We can not become desensitized to this or normalized to this. I am really hoping in the coming days we hear of some progress or arrest in this case.

I have no words.

There is supposed to be a law regarding window-tinting. Jackson is not the only place where this practice is completely out of hand. Everyday I see cars which have windows so black that you would not see a shotgun or a pistol pointed directly at you one foot away. Your first chance to escape is when/if they roll down the window. Then it is probably too late. Imagine if you are law enforcement. It's life or death out there.

So, Lord Farquaad says that policing alone will not solve Jackson's violent crime problem. What's the proposed solution for shit like this?

this is what thugs who shoot little girls with BB guns graduate too.
This is why i wear plate armor when I drive in Jackson.
And I also keep my AR pistol in a mount at the ready.
Better for a libtard dipshit to call me “paranoid” than to die at the hands of a gang initiation.

I hate to be "that guy" but imagine the local response if Mike was black and the 4 guys in the blue sedan were white. The city would be burned to the ground by blm and Antar would be all over the national media soaking it all in.

No safe way for folks leaving Jackson to go home after work. Thuggies now driving around in stolen cars targeting folks. Question remains. was he shot because he's white or latino ? If so, that opens up a whole new can of worms, doesn't it ? Random shooters with a racist agenda isn't something policing just stops ! Good God almighty what have we become.

Has there ever been a democratically controlled city that had these type of problems and fixed it?

Seriously, this is a nationwide problem existing in all inner cities run by leftists.
How bad does it have to get before a higher authority intervenes? Is this even possible?

I feel like we're headed toward an "Escape from New York" type of situation.

Make no mistake about it. This was a group of black males trying to kill a random white person. It happens every year in Jackson. Multiple times a year.

Traffic stops need to be conducted with Up Armored Humvees and turret mounted M2 "MA Deuce" .50 cal HMG to cover the officer. Over the top? Yup is it, but seems to be what is necessary.

Why not do that all the time then? why only Jackson? I guess because this ONLY happens in Jackson, Mississippi, and nowhere else.

This has happened in Jackson at least a dozen times in the last 2 years. But it hasn’t happened once in Brandon, Flowood, Florence, Pearl, or Richland.

fed up in Jackson said...

this could be gang related......and some punk "getting his bones".....Until we have law enforcement willing to patrol and look for reckless driving and window tint violations (is the window tint law still in place?), then we are all at risk of this.....think about it like this: This incident happened w/in eye sight of the only way mart in metro Jackson........As much as I despise what was mart has become, their grocery section is a legitimate cost savings, and good families with low income should be able to go to the grocery store w/o risking their lives........So the mayor can preach about "holistic solutions", Right? more money and community programs, right? etc......but the city of Jackson, as a whole, is not safe, is not business friendly, and is third world crap......and no one, be they white or black, or any race should have to live like this.

I remember when the Millsaps student was killed the same way. It was racially motivated then as it is now. Kill whitey. Whitey is (too) slow to anger but when it comes watch out. When you're outnumbered 8 to 1, you lose.

There's a surveillance camera at Hwy. 18 & Greenway Dr., very near where this shooting occurred. Hopefully the camera caught something that will help police catch the thugs. I take the same route as the innocent driver "Mike" all the time. Scary.

The idea that all democrats advocate this type of violence does more to cause problems than solve problems.

Just like Not all republicans are ignorant anti vax sharia law loving homophobes who have sex with relatives while at church……some certainly are and behave in a similar fashion but not every one.

Likewise because some black guys act like terrorists does not mean all black guys are terrorists.

Stop feeding false conflated narratives and try to help your fellow man…..or if not….go screw your sister / mom I guess

If this was a group of thugs looking to randomly shoot a white person, there's a multitude of places with way better odds to find the random white dude than Highway 18 at I-20.

Either the "victim" did more than wave to stir them up, or it wasn't random.

Anonymous said...

@10:24, I’m with you. Even for Jackson, this seems odd and totally random. I mean maybe a gang initiation or like someone said, just black thugs on a mission to kill a white guy - but even then, why in broad daylight on an exit ramp? I hate to ask this, seems insulting to the poor victim, but makes me wonder if they knew him or had a beef with him or something. Either way, though, it doesn’t mitigate it. These thugs are subhuman.

Why isn't this a hate crime?

KF, for comparison of local police methods, you should post about the auto burglary in Madison and the kick-ass job the MPD and Flowood police did in nailing the thug. In Jackson, JPD won’t even respond to an auto burglary, much less involve freaking federal marshals.

If you are speaking of Bradley it’s hardly accurate to say that shooting was racially motivated. The same shooter shot a black guy in a parking lot of a gas station right before running into Bradley on West street and shooting him. The shooter was evil for sure but ascribing race to it is not warranted under the facts as they exist.

Bradley was a gifted talented guy…..I pass the house to this day and think about that.

Like an earlier post noted, there's a Real Time Command Center surveillance camera - with the flashing blue light - at Hwy. 18 & Greenway Dr. - the same intersection "Mike" stopped at before being shot on the on-ramp to I-20. Has the Real Time Command Center helped anything or anybody to solve crimes so far?

BTW, that intersection, & in particular the nearby Walmart parking lot, are a hotspot for robberies & carjackings. That Walmart is known as "the bad Walmart" among store employees in the metro area who are often asked to help at the Hwy. 18 Walmart. Most refuse because they're afraid of being robbed or worse in the parking lot. If JPD wants to know where to concentrate resources. Hwy. 18 & Greenway is a good place to start.

Anonymous said...

This probably had nothing to do with the victim's race, anymore than many of the police killings BLM constantly cite had to be racism. The narrative is EVERY negative interaction involving a black and white HAS to be racism. That's just provocative bullshit. Don't play that game. Young black thugs kill black people all the time. They will just as soon randomly kill a black person as a white. They don't respect anybody. Get it.

30 or so years ago a guy I worked with and his wife were driving on a two lane road out in that area and a pickup in the oncoming lane fired a shotgun out the drivers window as they went by. The shot struck his wife. She survived but is still haunted by the experience.

Passed right by that truck getting on 20 and saw the windows blown out, it was in grass behind rimtyme. They have a police camera at the intersection there too. I live in the area and I keep an AR with two mags in the truck and a glock locked and loaded on my lap when driving around Jackson. As far as race goes if it were reversed you know people would be screaming racism, nothing new, even if race wasn’t involved.

12:04, you're right, no one who said something like this could be ascribed with racial intent

@ 1:55 Never heard it put that way but yes I agree. My grandfather used to say "why would you permanently paint something on your body you would not hang in your living room?"
If I were wealthy I would create a chain of tattoo removal clinics all over the country. 75% of people will want these removed sooner than later. When I saw that my girlfriend did not have a tramp stamp (circa 1994) I put a ring on her finger.
I also don't understand the big ole girls getting these all over their calves and thighs. seems you would want to not draw attention to those areas.

Thought about what might have caused it. However, this guy posted the picture on WAPT's FB post about the shooting. He immediately talked to me when I asked for an interview. I asked him point blank about saying anything or if he'd met them. He said no to all such questions.

That's not usually the case when there is a "something else." That is a particularly violent area around the Walmart.

It will be interesting to see if the Mayor's vaunted cameras actually show or record anything.

Back to tinted windows. Tate County is the only place I've heard of that tickets dark windows that exceed the standard.

Not only black windows but tags that are covered with opaque plastic or partly obliterated by various decals and insignia, chains, college logos, etc. Frankly, all these 'dudes' who cruise around with black windows (LEO can't tell if there's one person in the vehicle or nine), are saying to LEO, "Screw you bruh!" But, then again, the current political regime is all in for creating problems for the PO PO.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
