Six people were killed in a series of shootings on Friday in northwestern Mississippi, authorities said.
Ethan Cash, 19, told WREG-TV he heard gunshots from inside his home and saw a man with a shotgun outside. Cash eventually went outside to see what happened.
"I go up to the truck where a guy got shot at, and I check his pulse and everything, make sure he's OK," Cash said."He's already gone at this point." The governor said the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist in the investigation. Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in New Orleans were also providing assistance,"Please pray for the victims of this tragic violence and their families at this time," Reeves said.
In a statement Friday night, President Biden said that he and first lady Jill Biden were"mourning for the six killed."called on Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons, reiterated his belief Friday that the U.S. needs"commonsense gun law reforms." "That includes requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, fully closing the boyfriend loophole to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, requiring safe storage of guns, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets," Mr. Biden said."These are commonsense steps that Congress could take right now and save lives.
