Five taken to hospital after shooting in Jefferson County

Five people, taken to Merit Health Natchez for treatment after a shooting in Jefferson County. At least one person reportedly died in the incident, which happened early yesterday. There are still far more questions than answers, including the condition of the people who sought treatment, what led up to the shooting, and whether there have been any arrests. The Natchez police chief says it’s standard procedure for officers to respond to the hospital when there’s a case like this to assist law enforcement from the jurisdiction where the action occurred to ensure the area is secure and help gather names, but Natchez PD is not conducting any investigation of its own into the shooting.
