Jackson Police are investigating three shooting incidents that have occurred within the last 24 hours.
On Sunday August 1st at approximately 6:50 P.M., Jackson Police received a Shotspotter alert for shots fired in the 100 Block of Lincoln Circle. Officers responded to the area but had negative contact with any victims. While officers were canvassing the area of the shotspotter alert for evidence, two gunshot victims arrived at a local hospital with what was determined to be non-life threatening injuries.
Later Sunday evening, August 1st, at approximately 11:40 P.M. Jackson Police were dispatched to the 100 Building of 1580 N. Royal, Royal Arms Apartments, for another shooting. Responding officers located a crime scene and two victims. Both gunshot victims appeared to have non-life threatening injuries and were transported by Emergency Medical Services to a local hospital for treatment.
Jackson Police have not determined if the two cases are related but continue to actively investigate both. Jackson Police are asking anyone with information that could assist in solving either case to call the Jackson Police Department at 731-425-8400 and speak with someone in the Criminal Investigation Division.
While Jackson Police and Investigators have actively investigated the two cases from the evening of August 1st, Jackson Police and Investigators were dispatched to another shooting incident. Monday morning, August 2nd at approximately 9:50 A.M., Jackson Police and Investigators are dispatched to the area of Revere Circle, Post House North, for a report of shots fired. Responding officers located a victim along with a crime scene. The victim did not appear to have a life threatening injury but was transported by Emergency Medical Services for treatment.
Based upon preliminary evidence, Jackson Police do not believe either of these shootings were random acts of violence but targeted acts of violence. Jackson Police Investigators are receiving very little cooperation from the victims as they tirelessly work to identify and apprehend the suspect(s) of these violent assaults.
