The man was struck by one of the bullets which may have caused more than one injury. The victim was taken via ambulance to Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi and then later transferred to The Regional Medical Center in Memphis.

While gunshot injuries can worsen quickly, Wilburn said he did not believe the victim’s injuries were life-threatening.

Wilburn said investigators have no motive, description of the vehicle or suspects in custody as of 8:30 this morning.
