Coast man barricaded in home after shooting his wife

posted in: Mississippi News | 0

A Jackson County man has barricaded himself inside his home in St. Martin, and negotiators are trying to talk him out peacefully.

This began as a domestic incident between the suspect and his wife this morning.  The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department confirmed he shot his wife multiple times in the front yard.  Still armed, he went back into their home on Brookstone Drive.  Their 2 minor children were still inside.  We do know the children are both safe, though at this point how they got out is unclear.  It’s possible they climbed out a window.  The suspects wife was transported to the hospital.

This is a developing story and we’ll update it as we receive more information.
