Authorities are responding to reports of a shooting that occurred late Saturday night on the Alcorn State University campus. Early reports indicate that several students were shot, prompting a significant law enforcement presence at the scene.
At nearly the same time, separate reports emerged of another shooting at the stadium where Jackson State University’s homecoming events were taking place.
Campus police, local deputies, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) are en route to both scenes to assist with crowd control and evidence gathering.
Emergency medical crews are treating victims and transporting them to nearby hospitals. Their conditions have not yet been confirmed.
Authorities have not released details on any suspects or potential connections between the two incidents. Both areas remain under lockdown as investigators work to secure the scenes.
Students and community members are urged to avoid the area and follow all emergency alerts issued by university officials.
This is a developing story, and details are expected to change as the investigation unfolds.
