The body of one of two men chased after a violent robbery at a small grocery Thursday night was found this morning at the Interstate 20-U.S. 61 interchange and authorities were trying to determine whether he was shot, jumped or fell from an overpass.
A second suspect, described, like the dead man, as Hispanic, was being sought by police in the robbery and assault at La Chiquita grocery store, 4002 U.S. 61 South, which triggered the chase and shootout.
Police received a call about the armed robbery at 8:41, said Sgt. Sandra Williams. “The caller reported two Hispanic males entered the business wearing ski masks. One was carrying an SKS assault rifle, and the other had a handgun,” Williams said.
After taking an undisclosed amount of cash, CDs and jewelry from the store, as well as a wallet and cash from a customer, the two fled the scene in a vehicle and headed north on U.S. 61 South toward Interstate 20, Williams said. A woman clerk at the business was hit in the head with the butt of a rifle during the robbery, then notified the store owner who jumped in his vehicle and chased the robbers, Williams said.
“There was a chase on the highway, which resulted in the suspects crashing out on the bridge,” she said. “The suspects got out of their vehicle and started firing at the business owner. And basically, between the suspects and the owner of the business, there was a shootout.” She declined to speculate on how many shots were fired.

Yep.
That was my point about something being wrong with the picture -- My surprise that the Store Owner was released with no charges after 'the chase' and ensuing gun fight.
Maybe there's more to this that wasn't reported?
You have said if someone hurts mine then you would make them pay. That is no different than the store owner making the perps pay for injuring his employee.
Once again you are doing a do as I say not as I say I will do.
Mississippi ping
But there is circumstantial evidence that is wasn't reckless....the fact he was released.
Neither of us know, so why don't you stop insisting on something nobody can prove.
“Maybe there’s more to this that wasn’t reported?”
There usually is. There was more than one incident that I was involved in that I read about the next day. The reporting of the events was so wrong that I didn’t realize that it was the same incident.
Also, as soon as the police make an arrest they start the speedy trial clock ticking.
I am from MS and I doubt if he will be charged with anything but you never can tell these days.
Section 1g covers what this man did.
Even if he is charged I doubt there would ever be a conviction!!
I believe you’re right
Looks like they are going to miss this guy next year too

I really don’t follow Basket Ball or Base Ball. When football
seasons ends that is about it for me. Until my grandson starts playing Little League , that is. :>)
And I barely remember Bailey Howell!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Too much water under the bridge.”
No, that was a dead mexican under the bridge.
I don’t advocate anarchy nor vigilantism, but I do believe we have the ability and authority to defend ourselves and assist in the apprehension of a criminal for delivery to legitimate authority for proper judgment. IMHO, law enforcement should welcome the citizenry supporting it and respecting their efforts to enforce the law, rather than ostracizing the citizenry as subjects who are only to be protected by the LEOs and without any authority themselves.
Thanks for making me laugh. I needed that.
BTW I always pull for state when they are not playing OM.
