A 2-year-old boy is safe after being taken at gunpoint from a Jackson apartment complex Thursday night.
Jackson Police responded to Cypress Point Apartments regarding shots being fired around midnight.
Officers learned that three people had entered an apartment and took 2-year-old Isiah Summerall. At least one suspect was armed with a handgun. Isiah's mother, Poarchie Summerall was assaulted but was not seriously injured. Shots were fired as the suspects left the apartment with Isiah. No one was hit. The trio fled the scene in a silver vehicle.
