WAPT ^

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.

“We’re still in the preliminary stages. We’re 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.

Note the headline. When the perp is black and the victim white it’s “random.”

Knockout game escalated to “shoot a cracka” game.

Murdered for being white.

Given the events occurring lately, that is a good surmise, but let us hope it is not true.

We don't need Charles Manson's theories to finally come to fruition. That would be bad. Very bad.

‘...and ran away...The gunman didn’t say anything and walked away after the shooting...’

I’m confused. Did he walk away or run away?

For now.

Fact is, if the “silent majority” wakes up, there will be hell to pay.

So it goes. Do we draw lines, form groups for protection, and say screw the law. It doesn’t work.

I seems we’re heading there.

I’ve actually seen blacks online say any white in a black area any time of the day “had it coming to them” to be beaten, raped, robbed for being in a black neighborhood.

HELTER SKELTER apparently underway.

If you see a feral walking toward your car, assume that he intends to kill you an gun it out of there. Always leave enough space between you and the car in front of you.
