Three people have been killed and eight others injured after a shooting at a trail ride following a homecoming football game.
The shooting happened just after midnight on Saturday in Holmes County, Mississippi, according to WJTV.
Local Sheriff Willie March told the outlet that several people had been on a trail ride after Holmes County Consolidated School’s homecoming.
An argument reportedly erupted between some young men who had been part of the ride before the shooting happened.
The three victims have since been identified as 25-year-old Martel Gibson, of Durant, 19-year-old Shundra Chestnut, of Kosciusko, and 19-year-old John Jenkins, also of Durant.

March said that some of the injured victims had to be airlifted to a hospital, while others were transported by ambulances.
He told The Clarion Ledger: ‘The football team had won the homecoming game and people wanted to go out and celebrate the win, but others didn’t have that same intention.’
Authorities are still searching for the suspects in connection with incident. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is helping with the case.
