Patterson said Tuesday that guards at all base entrances were armed under a recent order from Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant. ( I assume this means that they weren't always so.  Imbeciles. )

Soldiers training at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center reported shots fired into the air Wednesday near the Mississippi military facility grounds one day after reports of gunfire near its southern boundary.

At about 8 a.m. Wednesday, soldiers training at the Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center reported shots fired into the air, said Lt. Col. Christian Patterson. It was in the same area where soldiers reported gunshots fired from a pickup truck a day earlier, Patterson said.

The description of the shooter was the same in both instances, Patterson said: a white male in a red pickup truck.

  1. Shots fired into the air is what gets me wondering. Trying not to hit anyone? Running a test to see the bases reaction? Bored redneck? Odd

  2. I wonder if it's part of Jade Helm and their shooting blank rounds. They said they were gonna try to blend in with the civilian population. White guy in a pickup truck in Mississippi would be blending in!
