OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) are investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting in North Mississippi.

There’s something wrong with a person that shoot at law enforcement You are ask for a swift death Our officers have family that are expecting them to return home safe

There’s only 2 reasons why anyone would aim a firearm or weapon at an officer of the law. 1.) They didn’t realize it was police and they were defending their home. 2.) They wanted to die by someone else’s hand. Hopefully the findings of the investigation by MBI will be out soon. Prayers to all involved. Anytime someone passes it’s a sad day. I am glad to hear no officers were severely injured. Thank God they can go home tonight to their families!
