A man who was reportedly shooting at workers at a church was killed by Mississippi deputies who responded to the reports of an active shooter Saturday.
Scott County Sheriff Mike Lee told Jackson news sources that shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday deputies received numerous reports that shots were being fired at workers at Mt. Zion Church on Blossom Hill Road.
Deputies confronted the suspect, identified as Robert D. Bailey of Blossom Hill Road, from a tree line across the street from the church. Bailey was heavily armed with multiple guns, deputies said.
Deputies then fired shots, killing Bailey. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating the deputy-involved shooting.

Black church? Here in the Seattle area there’s a black church called Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

Demographics from 2010 census:
The racial makeup of the county was 53.3% White, 37.5% Black or African American, 0.31% Native American, 0.2% Asian, 0.2% Pacific Islander, 7.2% from other races, and 1.4% from two or more races. 10.7% of the population were Hispanic or Latino (6.3% Mexican, 1.5% Guatemalan, 0.7% Cuban).
So probably a good bet that it is a black church. The area was developed by European Americans for cotton plantations. That may or may not even be relevant, but I thoought I would add that in.

There are Mount Zion Baptist churches all over the place. Three are within 10 miles of me.

"There are Mount Zion Baptist churches all over the place. Three are within 10 miles of me."
I was just wondering if they are affiliated in some way.

Whew! You had me scared. I thought you had gone ... you know, the thing.
