A Mississippi teenager has been arrested on murder and aggravated assault charges after a shooting at a Bay St. Louis house party left two teenagers dead and four others hospitalized, Police Chief Toby Schwartz said Sunday morning.
Cameron Everett Brand, 19, was identified as the sole shooter at the party, Schwartz said.
Bay police officers responded to the home in the 100 block of Old Blue Meadow Road at 12:34 a.m. and found multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds, Schwartz said, and others were taken to local hospitals in personal vehicles.
The six victims, said to be Hancock High and Bay High students, are between the ages of 15 and 18.
Four of the victims were taken to hospitals in New Orleans or Slidell via Life Flight helicopter.
Two of the teens being treated at University Medical Center in New Orleans died Sunday morning, according to Schwartz and Hancock County Coroner Jeff Hair. They were 16 and 18, but their identities have not yet been released.
Brand was arrested at his home in Pass Christian without incident. He is held in the Hancock County jail without bond, which was set by Municipal Court Judge Stephen Maggio.
