PICAYUNE, Miss. (WLOX) - In Picayune, three juveniles are currently recovering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds after a shooting on Sunday.
“It was about 4 yesterday afternoon and I was in my house and I heard six rapid gunshots,” said one nearby resident who wished to remain anonymous.
Those multiple gunshots the resident described came from Grande Oak apartments located on South Haugh Avenue.
Picayune Police Chief Freddy Drennan said the three minors were shot, all in the leg, with a pistol by another minor after an ongoing verbal altercation.
