TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) -Lee County deputies continue the search for the people who shot one man and beat another with a pistol.

Sheriff Jim Johnson says the shooting happened in western Lee County on Thursday. The shooting victim was shot several times.

Both were taken to the hospital. Johnson says the victims contacted the suspects to arrange an illegal transaction.

“We are still investigating it as a crime even though it was arranged, even though it may have been something that was not legally supposed to be taking place, we do have some information on who this individual was who did it and we are actively investigating it and we will keep the media and general public updated as to where we’re at.”

Investigators are looking for four suspects.
