WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: East Biloxi Shootings Raise Concern

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: East Biloxi Shootings Raise Concern: "Several shots were fired on Esters Boulevard in Biloxi Monday night. The victim was struck at least twice.

'The guy was shot in the leg. A matter of fact, the suspect lived only a short distance away from him, knew who it was. And we were able to arrest him very quickly,' said police chief Bruce Dunagan.

The shooting on Esters was the second in East Biloxi in a week. Last Monday, November 27th, in the late afternoon, Biloxi police say an argument at the corner of Magnolia and Division Streets turned violent.

When one of the participants attempted to flee in a car, another began firing shots at his vehicle. Police say one of the eleven bullets struck the church building across the street.

'That's as scary as it gets, yes,' said Father Steve Wilson."
