The final officers cleared the area after 3:00 AM. Officers made 42 traffic stops during that time period and discovered over 10 firearms during those stops.
While officers were on scene clearing a disturbance, shots were fired from a handgun at approximately 12:47 AM. Officers immediately ran into the area and secured the business. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Antwan Terrell Tompkins, 19, of Tupelo, MS, was taken into custody and charged with Aggravated Assault. His bond will be set today by the Municipal Court Judge.

"This dangerous situation could have had tragic consequences for first responders, residents, visitors, and hundreds of people in and around the venue. We are extremely grateful for the swift actions and bravery of our officers who responded without hesitation to protect our community.

Guy running from the police learned his lesson lol. I don't feel too bad for him
August 31, yet another leg wound. Is that why so many children get shot in a drive-by, because the thug element aims low for leg shots?
If a round hits the ground in front of someone it will bounce (ricochet) and hit a leg.
More perception of crime. Right?
You do realize that Oxford is a college town, don’t you?
Thugs seldom aim. They depend more on volume than accuracy.
In NE Jxn, after walking across our front side walk, my wife came in with a cut sole of her shoe and cut foot. She handed me what she stepped on. I told her it was copper jacketed lead bullet, partially smashed (with sharp edges) from impact but with the point intact. Apparently a round was fired with horizontal trajectory and skip-ricocheted off the street or a driveway to then land in front of my house. It hadn't been there long, maybe a day or two.
Can law enforcement in Oxford teach law enforcement in Jackson about enforcement of noise ordinances?
