Police investigate multiple shootings in Jackson after St. Paddy's Day Parade
Law enforcement officials responded to multiple potential shootings in Downtown Jackson Saturday night, following the conclusion of the Hal's St. Paddy's Day Parade. A Jackson fire department employee confirmed a shooting near the intersection of Capitol Street and West Street and happened hours after the conclusion of the Hal's St. Paddy's Day Parade. The JFD employee said the victim appeared to have sustained a gunshot from a small-caliber bullet. He said the victim was expected to survive. JFD waited for an ambulance to come but none came, due to the large crowds and crowded streets, and the victim was transported by car to a hospital. The JFD employee also said that neither Capitol Police nor Jackson Police responded before the victim was transported by car. JPD's Public Information Officer Tommie Brown said he heard there were two different calls made to incidents downtown, but neither involving the West Street incident. One was in reference to an incident on Pascagoula Street, Brown said. Another was in reference to an incident on Pearl and Lamar Street. Brown couldn't confirm if the incidents were about any shootings. Brown said an incident is being investigated by Capitol Police. Bailey Martin, press secretary for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, confirmed that Capitol Police responded to one incident. "Capitol Police has responded to the area of Pearl and Lamar streets in Jackson," Martin said. "Multiple individuals have been injured in an alleged shooting. More information may be provided at a later time. This is an open investigation." This marks the second time in three years that at least one shooting occurred around the time of the Hal's St. Paddy's Day Parade, one of Jackson's largest events that draws many thousands of revelers downtown. Two people were shot and killed in 2023, after attempting to intervene in an ongoing domestic dispute, leaving bodies in the street and bullet casings on the pavement of a parking lot just blocks from the ongoing Hal's St. Paddy's Parade. According to police, the incident, which happened in the parking lot of the Agriculture and Commerce Department building on Jefferson Street near the state fairgrounds, took place around 1 p.m., just as the parade was beginning nearby on the corner of Court and State streets.
