A Mississippi man wanted in connection with a triple shooting that left his mother and two sisters dead was fatally shot during a gunfight with state troopers in Arizona, authorities said Monday. Authorities in Ridgeland, north of Jackson, discovered the women’s bodies at a home on Mother’s Day, Ridgeland police chief Brian Myers said in an email. Police believe they were fatally shot in the house on Saturday, he said.
Welch was fatally shot after he opened fire on the troopers, the chief said. A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety said only that a trooper was involved in a shooting in Greenlee County, near the New Mexico state line. The department planned to release more information Monday afternoon, he said. Additional details about the shooting or a possible motive weren't immediately available.
