FBI seeks public’s help, launches website for digital tips in Leland mass shooting probe
LELAND, Miss. – The FBI has established a dedicated digital media tips website to collect videos and photos from the public as part of the ongoing investigation into the mass shooting that rocked Leland, Mississippi, over the weekend.
The shooting occurred at approximately midnight on Friday, October 11, at the intersection of Fourth Street and North Main Street. According to initial reports, the incident appears to have been sparked by a disagreement among several individuals.

The bureau is urging anyone with cellphone video, photos, or other multimedia recordings of the incident to upload the media to the official site: fbi.gov/lelandmshomecomingshooting. Tips and digital media can be submitted anonymously.
For those who have information outside of digital media—such as eyewitness accounts—the FBI is asking them to call the FBI Jackson office at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
Authorities are emphasizing that any piece of information could be crucial in helping to identify unknown subjects and bringing the investigation to a close.
