Four people killed in Lauderdale County

A five-year-old boy and three of his family members were shot to death at a home in eastern Mississippi today. Lauderdale County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Ward Calhoun says investigators are pursuing numerous leads.
The child and the bodies of three women were found in the community of Toomsuba, near the Alabama state line.
Authorities have not released a motive. They say they do not think the shootings were part of a murder-suicide. They haven’t identified a suspect. The people killed were 65-year-old Edna Durr and her daughters Tomecca Picket, 42, and Kierre Durr, 27. Also killed was Picket’s five-year-old son, Owen Pickett.
Kierre Durr’s three-year-old daughter was not shot and survived the attack. A family member called police after a neighbor got no answer at the house Tuesday. A deputy found broken glass and forced his way inside, finding the bodies.
