Leland, Mississippi: At least four people were killed and 12 others injured in a mass shooting in Leland, Mississippi, just after a football game late Friday night, according to reports from the BBC. The incident occurred on the city’s main street, roughly 120 miles (190 km) northeast of Jackson, the state capital.

Authorities said four of the critically injured victims were airlifted to nearby hospitals for emergency treatment. Leland Mayor John Lee confirmed to CBS that the shooting took place during a busy Friday night. “The shooting occurred on Leland’s main street during a busy Friday night,” he said.

No suspects have yet been identified, and no arrests have been made. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack. Law enforcement agencies have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in identifying those responsible.

The city had been unusually crowded as residents gathered to celebrate homecoming, an annual American tradition where schools welcome back former students and host community events, including football games. Officials said the celebration turned tragic as gunfire erupted, leaving multiple casualties and widespread panic. The identities of the victims have not yet been released pending notification of their families.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that authorities are searching for an 18-year-old man wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting. The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office said the gunfire broke out on the school campus where the Heidelberg Oilers were hosting their homecoming game. It remains unclear exactly when the shooting occurred or how close it was to the stadium.

AP quoted Sheriff Randy White as saying, “We're still piecing together the timeline, and more details will be released in the coming days.” He said he was at the scene on Saturday as investigators continued gathering evidence.

The shooting has shaken the tight-knit community, which had been celebrating the school’s annual homecoming festivities when the violence erupted. Law enforcement continues its manhunt for the suspect and is pursuing further investigation into the attack.

Authorities have urged anyone with information about the suspect or the incident to contact the Heidelberg Police Chief or the Sheriff’s Office.
