Two shootings now. Think they were off campus, just last saw the shooters running towards or on campus.

10/14/15 8:04 pm
Maroon Alert: Starkville Campus. Shots fired at Haven 12 three suspects reported running toward Research Park.

WTVA said suspects 3 black males. Think they said it was a drive by shooting and female driver was in custody. (not sure wasn't really paying attention)

Friggin' drive by shootings evidently.

Way to go, damn uncivilized jackasses. Stuff like this pisses me off to no end, all because of some damn goons that don't have a lick of sense....and this will ultimately be another gigantic black eye for the town of Starkville and MSU. Just unbelievable that people are this wild and stupid.

MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY, Miss. (WCBI) – A shooting incident at an apartment complex has triggered a “Maroon Alert” on the Mississippi State campus. Initially the call came in as shots fired at Haven 12, and three suspects running toward the Thad Cochran Research Park. Starkville Police report that the shots were actually fired at Camelot Apartments on North Montgomery Street in the city. Police pursued the suspects, and they abandoned their vehicle near Haven 12, and fled on foot.
The suspects are described as three black males. They were last seen running from TVA toward Highway 12.
According to the Starkville Police Department’s website one female is in custody.
MSU officials have tweeted that “No shots were fired on our campus. No apparent connection to MSU personnel or students at this time.”

Another? When was the first one?

There was one reported on several weeks ago, but turned out the guy didn't even have a gun.

Pretty sure that's his point. You can't say "another" when there wasn't a first one.

 

[missouridawg]

Yep.

Pretty sure that's his point. You can't say "another" when there wasn't a first one.

Wording is important in situations like this. Perception is everything.

 

[futaba.79]

you're right and State is creating the perception.......................

that there are problems. Maroon Alert is a great thing but should be used wisely.

 

[aTotal360]

I don't think this was a false alarm. Shots fired and people fled toward an MSU building. The last 2 incidents needed to be maroon alerts.

Is Haven 12 the apartment complex where Bobby Batiste lived?

 

[dickiedawg]

Haven 12 is a new complex that just opened up north of campus on Hwy 12.

I think they advertised every home run as a Haven 12 home run this season... Pretty sure they got their money's worth on that one***

 

[NIC.sixpack]

I got curious and looked up more about Batiste. He lived at 21 Apartments. I got the numbers transposed. I also noticed that the shots weren't fired at 12 Haven, so I'm sure they're thrilled they got dragged into this.

"................and MSU"?

How do you figure that?

 

[Sutterkane]

Better to err on the side of caution.

 

[drt7891]

Yep. If the university sits on their hands and people get hurt, that's an even worse situation. But you are right, these alerts are a two edged sword.

 

[DerHntr]

that there are problems. Maroon Alert is a great thing but should be used wisely.

My perception is they are keeping our students informed

 

[SHTRSFUL]

Starkville turning into the ghetto??? just wait and see what happens to college campuses when the Dems start giving free college education to just anyone. you'll have so much riff-raff on campus, they'll probably have to turn the damn things into prisons

 

[KurtRambis4]

This should go over well****
