Overview
- Officers responded to a shoplifting call at the Walmart on U.S. 51 in Senatobia and encountered two adults and a juvenile who fled in a vehicle.
- Authorities say officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver moved toward officers and an officer discharged a weapon before the vehicle left the scene.
- The vehicle’s occupants later went to a local hospital where one juvenile was pronounced dead and another person was listed in critical condition.
- No law enforcement officers reported serious physical injuries and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is collecting evidence in an active inquiry.
- Under Mississippi procedure the MBI will present its findings to the Attorney General’s Office for independent review, a step that will shape any criminal or disciplinary outcome.
