Fuel station in Jackson, Mississippi plagued by crime, violence

A fuel station in the southern US city of Jackson, Mississippi, appears to be plagued by crime and violence, according to a report from local media Mississippi News Now.



Last update:

According to the newspaper, one person was shot in the leg in late February while a clerk barely escaped another shot in a fuel station at 905 West Northside Dr. which includes a Chevron convenience store. At least 15 shots were heard.
This same location had been hit earlier in February with two store workers injured by bullet in another separate incident. Back then it operated under the banner Express Fuel Gas Station.
About one year ago, in January 2014, police had raided the same fuel station and convenience store, at the time named Jubilee, recovering stolen property and seizing illegal drugs. Six people were arrested at the time, the Mississippi News Now reported.
