For a second straight day gunshots were fired near Camp Shelby in Mississippi and authorities said that they now are questioning one person of interest.

The Associated Press noted that Lt. Col. Christian Patterson said soldiers at the military training facility reported hearing shots around 8 a.m. local time Wednesday, near where gunshots were reported a day earlier.

The shooter in both cases was described as white male in a pickup truck.

CNN reported that two other people previously questioned have since been released.

Military officials stressed the reported gunfire on both days came from a location outside the actual base.

"This incident occurred along the eastern edge of Camp Shelby. It did not occur on the base," County Sheriff Jimmy Dale Smith said at a news conference.

In the wake of the shootings at military bases across the U.S., Gov. Phil Bryant ordered that guards at all military base entrances in the state of Mississippi be armed with guns.
