Dispute escalated
Dead in shooting after football game at school
There was apparently a fatal shooting in the USA on Saturday. According to media reports, at least two people opened fire on a group of people celebrating after a football match at a school in the state of Mississippi. At least three people were killed and eight others were injured.
The shooting was preceded by an argument between several young men, the Holmes County Sheriff's Office told The Mirror US. Officials do not yet know what sparked the argument.
Shooting after homecoming celebration
The shooting, which took place about two miles outside of Lexington, Mississippi, followed a football game a few hours earlier at Holmes County Consolidated School's homecoming celebration.
Victims between 19 and 25 years old
Lexington is more than 60 miles (96 kilometers) north of Jackson.
Two of the victims who died were 19 years old and the third was 25 years old. The injured victims were airlifted to local hospitals.
"It was pure chaos"
"Between 200 and 300 people were celebrating the school's victory in an outdoor area - several hours after the game ended. The gunfire drove them to flee," the sheriff's office reported. Adding, "It was pure chaos, to tell you the truth. The shooting just started and people started running."
