Arrest made in Winona shooting

WINONA, Miss. (WCBI)- Winona police made an arrest after a shooting that left two people injured.

What started out as an evening of hanging out with friends turned into a nightmare.

Just after  7 p.m. on Academy St the atmosphere changed, shots were fired, and police called.

“When they arrived on the scene, there was actually nobody there, no victims or anything. They were there for about 30 seconds, and that’s when they received a second call stating that a shooting victim had arrived at the emergency room, at Tyler Holmes hospital. So, of course, they go up there that’s when we began our investigation,” said Chief Investigator Dan Herod.

That investigation led officers to Eddie Green, 28. He’s accused of shooting two people.

One victim was treated and released from Tyler Holmes Memorial Hospital. The other was flown to Jackson.

“It appeared that the one that was flown to Jackson that he was a shot in the back just to the right side of his left shoulder,” said Herod.

Chief Investigator Dan Herod said the accused shooter and at least one of the victims know each other.

“In the past, there’s been some issues between them,” said Herod.

Eddie Green was charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault.

According to Herod, they aren’t expecting any more arrests to be made, but they are continuing to investigate.

“We are still trying to gather details on what led to the shooting we are still talking to a couple of people who were involved with both sides, and we have gathered some evidence, of course, that we have a from the crime scene. Some other evidence is going to be sent to the crime lab we will actually have some ballistics done on firearms. We will just await results from the crime lab and see which way that leads us,” said Herod.

Green is being held on a $500,00 bond.
