Four people were killed in a shooting in a town in the Mississippi Delta region after a high school football homecoming game there, Mississippi state Sen. Derrick Simmons told The Associated Press.
The shootings happened in the downtown area of the small town of Leland, Mississippi, where people had gathered following the game, said Simmons, who represents people in that region.
Four other victims were taken to a hospital in Greenville and then flown to a larger hospital in the state capital city of Jackson, said Simmons, who is the senator for that region.
Leland, Mississippi, is over 70% black.
Imagine how low the crime rates would be if young black males were prohibited from possessing firearms.
