SUMMARY: The Clay County mass shooting that left one dead and 12 injured still has no arrest. There are discussions about permanently closing Club Oasis, the venue where the shooting occurred, but some argue that one incident should not dictate the fate of the entire establishment. The owners of the nightclub pleaded for the club not to be punished for the shooting and acknowledged that they did not follow certain county ordinances. The community is focused on reviewing security guidelines to ensure public safety. The club remains closed and no permits are being issued for upcoming events. Sheriff Eddie Scott emphasizes the importance of community safety to prevent future incidents.

Clay County officials met again on Thursday, March 7 to further discuss Sunday’s mass shooting at a nightclub.

SUMMARY: The Tupelo Police Department is hosting a summer D.A.R.E. camp, led by Corporal Seth Simmons. The D.A.R.E. program, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, teaches students decision-making skills to handle real-life situations. The camp reinforces these lessons through fun activities and community partnerships, including visits to a skating rink, movie theater, Renaissance Bank, Buffalo Park, and the aquatic center. Although the camp is currently full, there is a waiting list in case of cancellations. The program aims to reward students for their hard work and strengthen positive relationships between youth and law enforcement.
