Two 18-year-old black males sustained gunshot wounds in the early morning hours Saturday near the Bobcat facility on Tipton Street.
Victims Ethan Dawson, 18, and Jalen Davis, 18, each sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the leg area.
According to Mayor Tim Kyle, the incident occurred during a homecoming party when a fight broke out just after 12:30 a.m. at the intersection of Tipton and East South streets, leading to the gunfire and injuries, he said.
Upon arrival at the scene around 12:40 a.m., police received a second call indicating that two males had arrived at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Attala with gunshot wounds, according to Kosciusko Police Investigator Greg Collins.
Both males — currently considered victims in the incident — were treated and have since been released from the hospital.
No arrests have been made at this time and Collins said the department is continuing its investigation.
