Comments: Today two white women were gunned down in Jackson, MS. The news reports it as a random shooting. But what are the odds that a black shooter only shoots two people, both of whom were white, in an area that is close to 80% black? The shooter also ran over another person.
* There’s that word “random” again. When a black “randomly” fires a gun it always seems to kill a white person.
REPORT: JACKSON, Miss. —Shootings that killed two women and spanned two counties appeared to be random, Jackson Police Chief Lee Vance said Friday.
“At this point, there’s no other conclusion that we can draw,” Vance said. “Based on what we know this minute, a random act or a series of random acts, is the best conclusion I can draw right now.”
Vance said investigators have not determined a motive in the shootings.
“It makes absolutely no sense when you walk up to somebody you don’t know and shoot them,” Vance said. “It’s senseless. It’s terrible. I really feel for the victims.”
Earlier in the day, police released the names of the two women who were killed in the Thursday night shooting spree.
Suzanne Hogan, 48, a native of New York City who recently moved to Madison, was shot to death at the Shell gas station on Watkins Drive and Beasley Road, Jackson police said. Officers were called to the scene at 5:57 p.m. Thursday, where they found Hogan with a gunshot wound to the head.
Witnesses told police that the shooter was a man with dreadlocks who was driving a blue Ford Mustang.
Kristy Lynn Mitchell, 49, of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, was shot at 6:03 p.m. in the parking lot of Logan’s Steakhouse on County Line Road. She was in town on business and had been staying at the Drury Inn, police said.
