NATCHEZ — Four juveniles were reportedly shot at, three of them injured, during a shooting Saturday night in the 300 block of Dumas Drive in the Maryland Heights subdivision.

The extent of their injuries remains unknown at this time. No identities have been released.

Natchez Police Department Commander Jerry Ford said the four juveniles, including two 15-year-olds and two 17-year-olds, were in a car going to meet a girl in the Maryland Heights subdivision around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday when someone allegedly pulled up to their vehicle and opened fire.

The driver had been struck in the back and the two rear seat passengers were also hit, one in the knee and the other in the thigh, Ford said.

The teens started to drive to Trinity Medical Center and on the way, three of the four juveniles were transported by ambulance to the hospital, after which one was airlifted and the other two taken by ambulance to other trauma centers.

“This incident is still in the early stages of investigation,” Ford said, adding that no other witnesses to this incident have been found.
