Most recently a teenager's body is found - apparently executed by multiple gunshots - dumped at the Natchez City Cemetery.
Natchez Police investigators quickly identified and arrested three suspects. Obviously, we do not know all the evidence yet and the young men are innocent in our system until proven guilty.
But one bit of information the police did release is troubling. Detectives confiscated six firearms as part of the process. None of the suspects are over 21 years old, meaning that none of them can legally purchase a handgun.
If the handguns were theirs the question is: How did they get the guns?
