The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting that took place Sunday afternoon in Senatobia. The incident involved officers from Senatobia, but Hernando Police Chief Scott Worsham confirmed Sunday night that at least one officer from his department was also involved.  

The shooting took place about 4:30 p.m. on Gilmore Street. One person involved in the incident was fatally wounded, according to the MBI.

The report is found on the Tate Record website.
