COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – A man wanted in connection with a Columbus shooting earlier this week is in custody.

While the victim and gunmen were shooting at each other, a bullet struck the tire of a Columbus Municipal School District bus.
10 students and a driver were on the bus.
No one was injured on the bus.
Meeks’s mother, Cassandra Perry, was arrested earlier this week and charged with accessory after the fact.
