Deputies with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of shots fired at a residence on Savannah Rose Ln. in Lost Creek, according to a criminal complaint.

The person who informed officers of the incident stated that Danny Crippin, 52, of Lost Creek, was firing shots out of the window of the residence, and when deputies arrived on scene, they heard shots being fired from the house, deputies said.
