NATCHEZ — The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations is currently investigating an apparent road rage incident where shots had been fired out of a moving vehicle on U.S. 61.

Corporal Craig James of the Mississippi Highway Patrol Public Affairs Division said troopers received a call just after 3 p.m. today stating that a subject in a 2002 red GMC pickup was shooting a firearm out of his window on U.S. 61 near Selma Estates Road.

The caller followed the vehicle at a distance while on the phone with MHP, James said, adding that the suspect’s vehicle ended up stopping on U.S. 61 in Jefferson County where troopers made contact with him.

The suspect has been identified as 58-year-old Terry Gooden of Natchez.

“At this time, no charges have yet been filed as the MBI investigation is underway,” James said.

Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputies also responded to the incident.

Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said, “This could’ve been a deadly incident. Thank goodness it was not. The officers responded quickly and were able to affect an arrest without further incident.”
