JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Police in Mississippi’s capital city are investigating a shooting that left two men dead and a third injured.
Jackson Police say 27-year-old Jovorski Blackmon and 28-year-old Terrance Terry died after being shot at a restaurant and pool hall around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
Both men were shot multiple times. One died on the spot, while the second was pronounced dead at a hospital.
A third man was hit in the arm by gunfire and was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle. Police say the unidentified man’s wound wasn’t life-threatening.
Police haven’t identified a suspect.
Residents say the business had only been open for a month and say patrons have been arguing and fighting.
The men are the 34th and 35th to die in homicides this year in Jackson.
