3 ***** 8 more injured in Mississippi trail ride ********* after homecoming game

Three people ***** and eight more were injured in a trail ride mass ********* in Holmes County, authorities said Saturday.

Holmes County Sheriff ******* March told the Clarion Ledger that deputies responded to a 12:30 a.m. call stating multiple people were either shot or ***** Saturday near North Highway 17, about 5 miles outside of Lexington.

March said the ********* occurred after the Holmes County Consolidated School’s homecoming celebration.

“The football team had won the homecoming game and people wanted to go out and celebrate the win, but others didn’t have that same intention,” March said, noting there were no incidents at the game.

According to March, people were on the trail ride when a shooter opened ***** into the crowd following an altercation between young men. The details of the altercation are unknown at this time.

March said unfortunately, it is common for shootings in the area to occur due to people having disputes and not knowing how to resolve them outside of the use of **** *****.
