INDIANOLA, Miss.–You can’t be out after midnight any longer in Indianola, unless it’s for work or an emergency. The curfew was put in place Friday by the city Board of Alderman in response to recent violence, namely the mass shooting last weekend in which three people were killed.
The city has also put restrictions on the number of people allowed to gather inside the city limits. That number is 75, with few exceptions.
“No gatherings of more than 75 people may occur within the boundaries of the City of Indianola, indoors and outdoors, including but not limited to dance halls/clubs, bars, taverns, or restaurant dining areas, with the exception of funerals, school related events or activities, any event with with prior approval by the board, and business establishments will reduce the limits of occupancy by 80% and post said reduced occupancy in a conspicuous location for public viewing,” read the proclamation.
The curfew and restrictions are in effect until further notice from the Board.
