JACKSON, Miss.
A woman was shot and killed Thursday night while sitting in a car that was stopped at a red light, police said.
Chelsie Lynn Kirschten, 23, was at the intersection of Fortification and State streets along with a female friend just before midnight when police said a man came up to the driver's side of the car and shot Kirschten in the back and ran away.
Advertisement Police said the shooting appears to be random. Nothing was stolen and the shot was fired through the closed window of Kirschten's white Pontiac G6. The gunman didn't say anything and walked away after the shooting, Cmdr. Tyree Jones said.
Were still in the preliminary stages. Were not sure if they know one another or if there is any type of affiliation, but based on preliminary indications, this just seems to be possibly an individual just walked up to the vehicle and fired a shot, Jones said.
WAPT-TV Kirschten drove down the street after she was shot, police said. Her car came to a stop at Fortification Street near the Interstate 55 exit. She died at the scene, police said.
Jones said the passenger in Kirschten's car described the shooter as a black man wearing dark-colored clothing, possibly with a hood.
Kirschten had just started taking classes this week, and according to a coworker, had planned to leave her job at Twin Peaks in Jackson in two weeks.
Re: Helter Skelter
It’s here now.
She was stopped at a red light obeying traffic laws. He came up from behind and fired the shot.
Tough to avoid that situation.
I do, when in feral areas, try to drive very slow if I see a red light ahead so I never have to come to a complete stop. At a complete stop you’re a sitting duck for a carjacking.
Jackson is yet another once beautiful town that was destroyed by LBJ and his Great Society. The best thing to happen to Jackson will be the awakening of the New Madras fault which will hopefully swallow up both Jackson and Memphis in one shot.
Welcome to Jackson, y'all!
If the “silent majority” hasn’t woken up by now it’s not going to wake up.

Random.
My bet is racism, just plain unbridled hostility and hatred.
OTOH, being cool and calm about it is not MO for blacks.
And they call white people “racist”....
I knew a high school cheerleader that was murdered in a similar fashion, pulled into an apartment parking spot and somebody just walked up and shot her where she sat. It was never solved, most considered it gang initiation related.
Some of these crimes might have happened without all the race baiting going on. It sure seems like somebody is trying to start a race war though.
Age 23. More likely COEXIST, I'm afraid.
May she RIP.
If the silent majority hasnt woken up by now its not going to wake up.
As Dalton says, “Be nice, until it’s time to not be nice.”
BTW, How’s that jury deliberation coming on the Bundy Ranch standoff case? ;-)
I think the number of conservatives in that demographic would shock both of us.
If we continue on this path, it will not end well. Frankly I am about fed up with all minorities because of the whiney little baby attitude they are taking, poor me, my great grand daddy sold my grand daddy in to Slavery and it is all Whitey’s Fault....My Country is run by tyrannical thugs and poverty is a way of life, no hope, so I broke in to your Country and began stealing you blind, It is ALL WHitey’s Fault.
FOAD!!!
FOAD!!!
Looks like the Alt-Left is stepping things up a bit.
“Knockout game escalated to shoot a cracka game.”
That is how I see it.
when black people get angry, cities burn.
when white people get angry, continents burn.
So far...
Zebra Killings 2.0 ? Those of you lived in the Bay Area/SF in 73/74 know what I am talking about.
