A Vicksburg woman was shot in the hip when she was caught in what was described as a crossfire of bullets on Patton Street Thursday afternoon.

Shirel Hall, 18, 1200 Mission 66, was treated at River Region Medical Center and transferred to University Medical Center in Jackson, said Lt. Sandra Williams of the Vicksburg Police Department. A UMC spokesman said Hall was treated in the emergency room and released later Thursday.

The shots on Patton, a neighborhood east of Washington and Clark streets, were fired at about 12:30 p.m.

Details from Lt. Williams were few, but a neighbor, who was in his yard picking up pecans, said he was forced to “hit the ground like it was Afghanistan” when he heard the shots.

Theyappeared to have been fired from both sides of Patton Street in the 800 block.

Arrested was George Love Jr., 16, 804 Patton, who was charged as an adult with attempted aggravated assault. Williams would not say if Love is believed to have fired shots, but a .22 rifle was recovered from him at the home, she said.

Hall was shot after driving a Ford Taurus onto Patton Street, Williams said, but it was unclear if she knew the people involved.

Another teen on Patton, in whose pajama pants pocket a bullet was found, was arrested, questioned and later released, Williams said.

Love was released from the Warren County Jail Thursday night on a $15,000 bond, Williams said.

Police recovered 45 shell casings from a .45-caliber pistol on Patton Street, Williams said.

Police were continuing to question people believed to be at the scene, Williams said.
