Picayune police arrested two people after a shooting late July 12 left three people with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Officers responded at 10:55 p.m. to 715 South Haugh Avenue in Picayune, Mississippi, where they found a 20-year-old man shot in the leg, a 48-year-old man grazed in the head by a bullet and a 12-year-old juvenile struck in the hip, police said.
