The police chief in Indianola told The Enterprise-Tocsin that a large crowd had gathered outside a club near the Sunflower County courthouse. Officers were putting up barriers to help with traffic flow before the shooting broke out. The Sunflower County coroner says those killed early Sunday in Indianola were Areon Butler of Indianola, Cameron Lee Butts of Greenville and Marquette Baites of Greenville. More details are not immediately available. Indianola is in Mississippi’s largely rural Delta region.
