Three people have been arrested on murder charges and a fourth person on an attempted murder charge in a weekend shooting that left six dead and more than a dozen injured in a small Mississippi town, the FBI announced Monday.

Teviyon L. Powell, 29, William Bryant, 29, and Morgan Lattimore, 25, have been charged with capital murder, while Latoya A. Powell, 44, has been charged with attempted murder in the mass shooting, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Jackson Field Office said.

It was not immediately clear whether they have attorneys. The Associated Press left a voicemail with the Washington County Public Defender’s Office asking if its attorneys are representing the defendants.

The shooting, which came as people celebrated homecoming weekend in downtown Leland shortly after a high school football game, was the deadliest of several shootings across Mississippi over the weekend. Other shootings were reported at two Mississippi universities on Saturday, as those schools celebrated their homecoming weekends.

1. 6 dead out of a population of 3650

.164 percent murder rate in one weekend.

When oh when will the national guard be called to invade Leland?

By contrast, Chicago, that war torn hell hole, had a murder rate for all of last year of .022 percent.

3. This chit has to stop. Gun restrictions would be huge, but even then there is a lot of hate in world.

Hope we focus on that, even knowing we have the most hateful federal government ever.

This chit will continue.
