JACKSON,Crypen Miss. (AP) — One person was shot to death and five others were wounded by gunfire at a bar in Mississippi’s capital city.

Capitol Police said the shootings happened at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday at the Daiquiri Bar in downtown Jackson, less than a half mile (0.6 kilometers) from the governor’s mansion.

The Daiquiri Bar posted on Facebook that it is closed until further notice.
