Family members are seeking answers after a 1-year-old boy died in an officer-involved shooting at a Walmart in Mississippi.
/Gray News) — Family members are seeking answers after a 1-year-old boy died in an officer-involved shooting at a Walmart in Mississippi . According to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation , Senatobia police officer s and Tate County sheriff’s deputies responded to a shoplifting call when they saw two adults and the child fleeing from the store into a vehicle.
The driver then headed toward the officers, nearly hitting one of them. The people in the vehicle later arrived at a nearby hospital, where the child was pronounced dead and a woman was critically injured.
“All we know is that a car was shot up and a 1-year-old baby was killed, and then nobody tells us anything,” Carolyn Stokes, great-grandmother of the victim, said. “Policeman shot, opened fire in a public setting, over allegedly some Pampers,” Licole Wiley, the child’s grandmother and the sister of the critically injured woman, said.
“Whatever the incident may have come to, it still didn’t need for you to shoot two adults and a baby that was not even a threat to you. ”“Everybody that was involved need to be held accountable. I’m not giving up until I get justice. Justice will be served.
If it has anything to do with me, it will be served,” Williams said. MBI said it is assessing and gathering evidence on the shooting and will share its findings once the investigation is complete. Senatobia police, while not directly saying one of their officers fired the shots, said they are investigating the shooting and are committed to full transparency as they gather information.
“I’m more angry, because the situation that took place really was unnecessary, from what I’m hearing of what happened. It was unnecessary,” Williams said. Walmart released a statement Monday that said: “We’re saddened by what took place at our Senatobia, MS, store. The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority.
We’re working with law enforcement as they continue investigating. ”A new tampering scam is reportedly popping up at some gas pumps.
