15-year-old shot in Presidential Hills Friday night

Jackson Police Department is investigating what witnesses say was some sort of shootout that left a 15-year-old hospitalized on Friday night.

After 8:30 p.m., gunshots erupted in the 6500 block of Lyndon B. Johnson Drive. According to people at the scene, a vehicle with two or three men in it drove down the street firing shots on people who were gathered there.

Spent bullet casings were littered along the street, and neighbors and friends stood in their yards watching police try to piece together what happened.

Some of those gathered in the neighborhood had returned fire on the vehicle, neighbors said.

Jackson Police Department confirmed that a 15-year-old male was shot in the stomach in the melee. He was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery and is currently in critical condition.

Shortly after that incident, a seemingly unconnected domestic situation broke out on the same street. Shots were fired and a man was injured by a gunshot wound in his hand.

Both incidents are under investigation.
