Sheriff Phelps said it appears the shootings were in retaliation for a deadly shooting Sunday in Sardis. The alarming part, he said, is the victims in Como were random.
“The information we are gathering right now is that it’s random,” Phelps said. “It’s going to be random from last night. I think the one on the 25th was targeted, but last night was random.”
