JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) — A 13-year-old is in the hospital after being shot near Sykes Road and Meadow Lane.

Police said they don’t believe the Whitten Middle School student was the intended target.

A 16-year-old Wingfield High School student is in custody in connection the crime.

The shooting happened after the students were dropped off at their bus stop.

Jackson Police Commander Tyree Jones said they believe the incident stemmed from an altercation that happened at Wingfield High earlier in the day. This was the third time police were called to help with the issue Thursday.

Officers went to the school earlier in the day to respond to a fight. There was also a call for service on the school bus before the bus made it to Sykes Road and Meadow Lane.

Students were dropped off at the bus stop, and that’s when the last altercation occurred.

The 13-year-old had left the area to get help from a parent.
Jones said they believe the victim’s older brother was possibly involved in the altercation at the school.

Police said they believe someone in a blue Chevy Impala came to the scene and gave the 16-year-old a gun.

Once the middle schooler returned, was shot in the back.

Jones said witnesses and others on the scene detained 16-year-old until police arrived. A stolen pistol was recovered.
