    One person was killed, and a Mississippi police officer was wounded in a shooting around 5 p.m. Friday.

    State officials said officers with Clarksdale Police were responding to a traffic accident on McGuire Cove when “an altercation occurred” between the officer and a subject at the scene.

    The suspect fired a weapon, hitting the officer. The officer returned fire, hitting the suspect, police said.

    The person who fired at the officer received fatal injuries. The officer was taken to a hospital in Memphis.

    Neither the officer nor the person killed has been identified.

    Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is gathering evidence and will share its findings with the Attorney General’s office.
