CLAY COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A late Saturday night shooting in Clay County leaves five people injured.

The shooting took place at a bonfire event on Cousins Road.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is looking for suspects and is also rethinking large-scale gatherings.

A weekend bonfire in West Clay County ended in a shooting that left 5 people, including a 14-year-old, injured.

“Anytime now, when we have a large crowd gathering, we are always concerned as law enforcement,” Sheriff Eddie Scott said. “Unfortunately, we live in a time when 90-95% of people are trying to have a good time, but you’re always going to have some troublemakers in the bunch, so that’s why we’re on edge at any large-crowd event now. Because it is so common now for something like this to happen.”
