Police say they're looking for 25-year-old Joshua Hurst in connection with the shootings in south Jackson Thursday night. Hurst is wanted for two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

A man and woman are dead and two men are injured. Jackson Police Chief Rebecca Coleman says the injuries are not life-threatening.
