The shooting happened at around midnight on the main street in Leland, a small town 120 miles (190km) north-east of the state capital Jackson, the small city's Mayor John Lee told the BBC.
Four of the injured were airlifted to hospital, Lee added. No suspects were in custody, but a police manhunt was under way.
Leland was busier than usual on Friday with the local high school scheduled to play a football game to mark homecoming, an annual US tradition, usually in autumn, when former students are welcomed back to celebrate school spirit and community.
The mayor said that the shooting did not take place on the Leland High School campus.
