Suspect in domestic violence call killed in officer-involved shooting

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Madison County that happened Tuesday night.

Deputies were called to a home about 11:30 p.m. in the area of Oakfield Boulevard, which is just outside of Gluckstadt, about a domestic disturbance in which someone was fatally shot.

When deputies arrived, the suspect pointed a weapon at deputies, who fired, killing the suspect. The deputies did not sustain any serious injuries.

Neither the Sheriff’s Office nor MBI have identified the victim or the suspect.

After completing the investigation, MBI will turn over its findings to the state Attorney General’s Office.

This is the 22nd officer-involved shooting in the state this year.
