5 wounded in shooting at Hattiesburg restaurant [View all]

HATTIESBURG -- Investigators said Monday night they still were piecing together what motivated a man to open fire at a Hattiesburg restaurant on Monday afternoon, wounding five customers and employees.

“We don’t have anything that we can release right now,” Hattiesburg Police Department spokesman Lt. Eric Proulx said.

Suspect Scott Tyner, 44, of Hattiesburg, was apprehended by Hattiesburg Police officers a short distance from the restaurant. Tyner lived nearby on South 21st Avenue.

The shooting came suddenly, seemingly without provocation, for the employees and patrons inside Cucos, a Mexican restaurant on a frontage road facing U.S. 49.
