(AP) — Police in Mississippi say a suspect has been arrested in a shooting that left one person dead and six others injured at a restaurant during a Cinco de Mayo party.
Ocean Springs Police Chief Mark Dunston said in a statement the suspect's name was being withheld to avoid releasing details of the case that could "taint any forthcoming information.”
The arrest was announced Saturday evening, a day after a celebration erupted in gunfire at The Scratch Kitchen in downtown Ocean Springs.
Police said that 19-year-old Chase Harmon of Pascagoula was fatally shot.
Six others were wounded.
Ocean Springs Police Capt. Ryan LeMaire said two of them remained hospitalized Saturday afternoon.
