Last night's gunfire in the quiet of Lincoln Cir didn't result in injuries, but it did lead to a stash of firearms, ammunition, and marijuana being pulled from the Jackson community. The City of Jackson Police Department reported that officers responded to a Shotspotter alert around 10:40 pm, pinpointing the outbreak to the 100 block of the residential circle. Arriving on the scene, police witnessed a man unloading his weapon toward another individual, who then vanished inside a nearby home.
The subsequent investigation turned over more than just spent casings. A search inside the suspect's refuge uncovered a small arsenal and marijuana. Details are scant, but one individual is now in custody, and their name has been withheld pending further investigation. The Jackson Police Department made it clear in a social media post, "This is an ongoing investigation."
The Jackson Police Department is urging anyone with information to come forward. There are options for those who prefer to remain anonymous, with Crime Stoppers accepting tips at 731-424-8477. An alternative line directly to the department itself is also open at 731-425-8400.
