JACKSON, Miss. — Jackson police are investigating a tragic triple homicide after two sisters and a toddler were found shot to death inside a home late Saturday night, leaving a grieving community searching for answers.
The victims have been identified by family members and social media tributes as Keyana Weathersby, Erica Weathersby, and Camari, Keyana’s young toddler.
According to the Jackson Police Department, officers responded at approximately 10:10 p.m. Saturday to a report of an aggravated assault at a residence in the 300 block of Queen Alexandria Lane.

Possible Swatting Call Under Investigation at Franklinton High School, Police Continue Campus Search
FRANKLINTON, N.C. — Law enforcement continued its investigation at Franklinton High School after receiving a report of a possible shooting situation that officials now believe may have originated from a swatting call.
The school, located at 910 State Road 1116 in Franklinton, prompted a significant law enforcement response, with officers establishing a command post near the front of the campus.
Authorities have not confirmed reports of an active shooter, and no immediate threat or concerning findings had been identified as of the latest update. However, officers continued clearing the school as a precaution to ensure all areas had been checked.
Some rooms in the 600 and 700 hallways had reportedly been cleared, while law enforcement personnel continued working through the building.
The incident is being treated as a possible swatting call, in which someone allegedly makes a false emergency report to trigger a major police response. That possibility has not been independently confirmed.
Authorities have indicated that those responsible will be held accountable and arrested if identified.
Residents and motorists are being urged to avoid the area while officers complete their investigation. Additional details about the origin of the call and any potential arrests have not yet been released.
