(CNN) -- Carol, a 39-year-old circus elephant wounded in a drive-by shooting, is expected to make a full recovery. She was shot on the grounds of BancorpSouth Arena, in Tupelo, Mississippi, while on tour with "The Greatest Show on Earth." "It appeared to be a deliberate, targeted event," said Capt. Rusty Haynes, with the Tupelo police. Authorities are looking for a silver or white Ford Explorer that was seen in the area at the time of the shooting, around 2 a.m. Tuesday. Haynes said Carol, an Asian elephant, was struck on her neck, between her shoulder and ear. A reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case has climbed to $24,000.
