The shooting occurred near Old Country Club Road at approximately 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when a car pulled up next to a vehicle being driven by a woman with four juveniles inside and a person in the car began shooting into the woman’s vehicle.

The driver was shot in the bicep, and she drove herself to Natchez Fire Station No. 3 from where she was transported for medical treatment of the non-life-threatening gunshot wound, Patten said.

Authorities initially were searching for only Davis but early Friday, Patten said further investigation had led to Flowers being a suspect.

Davis has a warrant for his arrest on five counts of attempted murder, Patten said.

Patten said anyone with information on the case could contact the sheriff’s office by calling 911 in Adams County. People outside of Adams County, Patten said, should dial the sheriff’s office directly at 601-442-2752.
