4 fatal shootings by Mississippi law officers were justified, state's attorney general says
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The use of force was justified in four fatal shootings by Mississippi law enforcement officers last year, Attorney General Lynn Fitch said Wednesday. Fitch based her findings on investigations conducted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. One shooting happened May 16, 2023, and involved four Meridian Police Department officers, the attorney general said. A man entered the lobby of an assisted care facility and threatened employees with a pistol before officers were called. The man barricaded himself inside the facility, and officers killed him after encountering him with a weapon, police said. On June 3, 2023, a Union County Sheriff’s Department deputy responded to a call about a domestic disturbance in Myrtle and killed a man who had a shotgun. Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said the deputy fired multiple shots and retreated.
