Sunday's mass shooting: 6 shot, 2 died. Mississippi



The teenager who hosted an after-prom party at her home in Mississippi where two high schoolers were shot dead and four were injured has spoken up about the horrors she faced.

The 18-year-old, who asked not to be named, said she reluctantly agreed to host the after-prom party this year because nobody else would agree to plan one.

But as about 60 to 70 students from Bay High School in Bay St. Louis and Hancock High School in Kiln were celebrating early Sunday morning, a gunman opened fire, killing two teenagers and injuring four others — one of whom is in critical condition. He then fled the scene and allegedly returned home.

Cameron Everett Brand, 19, of Pass Christian, was later arrested and charged with four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of murder. He is being held in a Mississippi jail without bail.

'He just started shooting, and left without remorse,' the 18-year-old hostess told the Sun Herald of the suspected gunman.

A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined.

But records obtained by the Sun Herald show Brand had a history of run-ins with the law, resulting in charges including carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana and domestic violence by sexual assault, as well as a charge for violating a protection order.

I guess it doesn't much matter. His weapon was used to kill people. Young kids just starting a new journey of life that was cut short.

Some reason he got away with all those previous criminal actions.
