HCSO investigates double fatal shooting near 1700 block of South Springdale Road

HCSO said it is on scene near the 1700 block of South Springdale Road after two subjects were discovered deceased from gunshot wounds.

The agency said an investigation is underway. Authorities provided a contact number for anyone with information: 601-352-1521. No further information was released in the initial notification.

HCSO is a local sheriff’s office responsible for investigating serious crimes and securing scenes while gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. Such investigations typically involve homicide detectives, crime-scene technicians and coordination with other local law enforcement units, though HCSO did not outline specific investigative steps in its post.

The discovery of two gunshot victims at the location represents a significant public-safety concern for nearby residents, who may see an increased law enforcement presence while the scene remains active. HCSO asked anyone with information to call the number provided. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
