Officials have confirmed that a plane crashed at Ocean Springs Middle School Friday morning.
Jackson County Emergency Management Agency Director Earl Etheridge told WLOX that a small plane took off from Ocean Springs Airport headed to Asheville, N.C., and crashed in the OSMS practice field.
The twin-engine Piper Apache prop plane developed problems right after it took off and crashed nearly one mile from the airport.
No injuries have been reported at this time. First responders with the Ocean Springs Fire Department and Ocean Springs Police Department are currently assessing the scene.
Federal officials with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are also en route to evaluate the incident.
