Four people shot at Lexington apartment complex, sheriff says

LEXINGTON, Miss. (WLBT) - Four people were shot early Sunday morning at an apartment complex in Lexington, according to Holmes County Sheriff Willie March.

The shooting occurred between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. at the Leawood Apartments in the southeast side of Lexington.

All four people were taken to a hospital in Jackson and are currently listed as being in stable condition.

Sheriff March said the shooting was between two groups of people and that, this year, gun violence in Holmes County is the worst he has seen in all his time in office.

It appears the shooting was from a mixture of handguns and rifles. The sheriff added that more young people are now carrying guns, which has become a real issue.

There is no suspect information at this time.

This is an active and ongoing investigation.

If anyone has any additional information related to this case, they are asked to contact the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.
