Some people say it's not out of the ordinary in Jackson for there to be a shooting.
"I mean it doesn't change because no matter where you go in Jackson there's been a shooting one time or another. A block away, two blocks away. It happens, its sad but it is what it is. I'm scared to take my kids certain places but I'm not fearful like I guess I just don't go certain places because certain places that's where it happens at, but I guess it'll anywhere," Bobby Joiner, a Jackson resident said.
