HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Authorities are searching for two men who fired gunshots from a vehicle at soldiers at a military facility in Mississippi, although no one was reported wounded, a sheriff said Tuesday.

Knowing this area, I have serious doubts that shots were fired AT the troops. Most likely someone target shooting or poaching. Lots of deer in that area.
