Three people were injured early Friday in a shooting at a home on North Jackson Road in Lamar County.

Sheriff Danny Rigel said deputies responded to the shooting just after midnight.

When deputies arrived they learned the suspect had fled the scene in a green Ford pickup.

They found two women, 33 and 35 years old, and a 79-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds.

All three were shot with a .22 caliber weapon.

The victims were taken to Forrest General Hospital for treatment. Two of the victims were treated and would be released later Friday, Rigel said. The third victim was still in surgery Friday morning.

Deputies were told the suspect, 68-year-old Willie Ray Leggett, was on his way to his home in Marion County.

Deputies from Marion County Sheriff’s Department were able to locate Leggett and return him to Lamar County.

Rigel said it appears the incident stemmed from some type of domestic dispute. The investigation remains ongoing.

Leggett was booked into Forrest County Jail and charged with two counts aggravated assault and one count aggravated domestic assault.
