Four Vicksburg men are accused of shooting into two homes and damaging two vehicles in the wake of an early morning shoot-out in the 700 block of First North Street Friday, Vicksburg police Lt. Sandra Williams said. 

No one was wounded in the shooting, she said.

She said Ambus Wallace, 29; Ellis Wilson, 38; Jimmy Hill, 26; and Justin Williams, 29; were being held without bond in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility pending an initial appearance Monday in Municipal Court.

All four men face charges of shooting into an occupied dwelling and shooting into a vehicle, and multiple counts of aggravated assault. Wallace, Wilson and Williams each also face two counts of aggravated assault, while Hill faces four counts.

The shoot-out occurred just before 5 a.m. Friday and involved several individuals, Williams said.

At least three weapons and an undetermined number of shell casings were recovered at the crime scene. The shooting remains under investigation.
