JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Jackson police are investigating after shots were fired into a home and a vehicle.

The incident occurred on Palm Street at Ridgeland Drive in South Jackson on Tuesday, August 20.

Captain William Kendrick, with the Jackson Police Department (JPD), said officers arrived at the scene around 8:00 p.m. However, no one was found inside the vehicle, which was a dark-colored Hyundai. Kendrick said multiple shots were fired into the vehicle.

Jeanette Dee, a neighbor, said her home was also shot into.

“I was laying on the love seat in the den, and two bullet holes came past my head. And I almost got struck by those two bullets,” Dee said.

Police are working to determine if there were any victims inside the vehicle, and they’re also searching for the suspects.

Anyone with information about the shooting can contact JPD at 601-960-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477).
