SUMMIT, Miss. (AP) — One police officer was shot and killed and another was wounded Thursday in a small town in southwestern Mississippi.
The shootings happened near a grocery store in Summit, the Enterprise-Journal reported. A Summit officer was confirmed dead, and a McComb officer was shot and wounded in one leg and was able to shoot back at a suspect, the newspaper said.
