The FBI announced on Monday that four people have been arrested in connection with the mass shooting that left six people dead and more than a dozen injured in Leland, Mississippi, over the weekend.
The shooting occurred early Saturday morning in downtown Leland as people were celebrating homecoming weekend following a high school football game. It was the deadliest of several shootings across Mississippi that weekend.
The FBI’s Jackson Field Office stated the gunfire appeared to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals.”
