JPD releases video of possible getaway vehicle after girl shot by stray bullet

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Jackson Police Department is investigating a shooting that happened on Thursday at the intersection of Madison Edward and Beasley Road.

The victim and her mother were driving down Beasley Road, police say, when the 6-year-old girl was shot in the leg.

The little girl was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
