According to the Clarksdale Press Register, the mass shooting took place at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday at the SSMC private biker club located at Highway 8 in Grenada.

Firearms and stolen items were discovered inside the club. Douglas declined to detail what stolen items were found in the club. Multiple shooters are now suspects but the authorities are still trying to figure out what sparked the shooting incident.
