The presser has an error. It started at about 9:45-10:00 PM, not 11:30 PM. I live in that area.
Not the city of Canton, but in a neighborhood off Clarkdell Road.
a domestic disturbance-
Yes, the neighborhood near the "It's not Dope, It's HOPE!!!!" billboard. Classy place. Family values. Right.
Wtf. Violence has been in demand for a long time, but it seems like more and more seemingly sane people are losing their sanity. I don’t have social media and don’t really pay attention to most of what I read. Seems like a lot more people are consumed by things they can’t control instead of keeping their head down and minding their own. If you know someone that is becoming shut off, that’s when you kind of start to pay attention and see if they just need an ear. Or, just ignore them and hide under the bed.
It could be bath salts, credit card debt, or a cheating spouse. Always be kind to everyone, but be prepared to kill them at any given moment. It’s getting out of hand. Love you!!
Gluckstadt is lost.
It's not in: Gluckstadt, nor Madison. It is a CANTON ADDRESS. Get over it.
If you want a Gluckstadt address or Madison address, annex to one of those cities, or accept the fact that you are in....CANTON.
And it’s just going to get worse with the help of the board of supervisors!
Well another mass exodus is about to happen with D R Horton coming in with more “affordable housing” and more of this will happen with financial constraints, job pressures, schools at max capacity. It’s a SHAME our supervisors are pushing for this!
These are madison county school districts which means it IS closer to gluckstat than canton. An address doesn’t mean a hill of beans. It’s the AREA the place is in.
Use to be a pretty nice area.
11:12 am, drive to that address, when you do, you will find that you are a mile from city limits a Madison by way of going south on Clarkdale, 800 yards maybe 1000 yards from LuckyTown, and freaking 10 miles from Canton. Dufus! Several people heard the shots that live in both, but not Canton.
Sad to have loss of life on any day.
The stupid of the day seemed to have taken his own life. I'd called that looser 24/7.
Grateful and thankful law enforcement are safe.
Thank you to those who assisted or engaged during this ordeal.
That is in Germantown school district less than a mile from the Madison Crossing Elementary. It is labeled a Canton by the postal service but that’s not Canton.
12:06 PM..thank you for setting that 11:12 a.m. dufus straight! People just need to keep their mouths shut if they don't know what they are talking about!
@ 1:01 Correct. Just like in Rankin county. There are addresses just outside of Puckett that are delivered by Brandon 39042 but yet the kids go to Puckett schools. 12 miles or more from town.
Y'all with a "Canton" address are just plain embarrassed, butt hurt, and defensive. But there are locals with a Madison address that don't live in Madison the City, so why don't they get all defensive and say "I don't live in Madison!"? They actually tell anyone and everyone "I live in Madison."
Too bad about your property values.
The point here is it doesn't matter where some people live, the results will always be the same.
I do not live in that area, but I know many people who do. Its a nice area and a wonderful place to raise your kids. Can I say that while the news is awful, its comforting to know that it was not a random act of violence. Domestic Violence knows no address. Can someone clarify how many people were shot.. The shooter was killed by the PD, but were the friends in the truck shot too? The water got a little muddy with KF's update at the end.
I just "drove around" that subdivision (via GoogleMap). What a bleak, ugly place! Are trees outlawed, there? I didn't spot even one tree, except for a few Crape Myrtles incorporated into foundation plantings. ...not even newly-planted little trees.
It's also apparent that 'Neutrals' are out, the "Ken Tate Look" is out (I spotted a gable copied directly from 'Windy Hill'), and square posts instead of legitimate columns, are OUT. If such things predominate in such a place, they're on their way out of fashion.
And I don't know which is worse: Madison County Builder Names, like 'Deerfield' (Madison County natives seem to have barely learned English, and so can't grasp what's substandard about such names), or the Naming Wheel names preferred by the Carpetbagger Dynasties coming out of Jackson. 'Deerfield' is, at least, authentic Redneck.
@1:10pm: I live in FLOWOOD AF, yet have a "Brandon, 39047" address. They even told me that "my post office is the Flowood Post Office." WTF?
If -I- don't live in Flowood, there AINT a "Flowood."
3:32 Your keyboard warrior attempt to achieve a response was successful. However, your shallow opinion is without substance. You would feel more relevant if attempted to be productive.
I find it absolutely ridiculous that the majority of the comments here are referencing the address and not the loss of life! Is that really what this society has become? Are we more concerned with where an act of violence occurred than we are the families that will be affected with these tragedies? My heartfelt prayers are with all of these families.

Oh, SLAP! Looks like somebody angered the wrong schoolmarm.
Can you clarify if that means “the involved suspect received fatal injuries” ‘AND,’ ‘AND/OR, ‘Or ‘IF AND & BUT’ “the suspect delivered the fatal shot to himself.”?
