WAPT says head not arm.

The Deputy that was hit with shrapnel was in the arm. Another Deputy was shot in the head.

To stop this gun crime and these shootings, we should pass a law that says you can't shoot at law enforcement. Then criminals will stop shooting at law enforcement. It's really that simple.

There were 2 deputies shot. One was shot in the head and was airlifted to UMC.

two where shot one in the head, and the other in the arm is what i'm hearing

May God be with the deputies. It's time for a mandatory death sentence if a criminal even pulls out a gun. And it's time to get rid of the residents on death row, and not by means of a Haley Barbour type pardon.

Well the suspect is alive so we don’t have to ask his ethnicity.

Wal Mart and Kroger just became sanctuary grocery stores.

On any day. On any call this can happen. God bless law enforcement.

I'm hearing the suspect was a marine that was a rifle instructor. Emptied several mags. Have no idea circumstances that brought this on. Hope the deputies are ok.

Remember the incident on Hoy Road two weeks ago? Law enforcement from all over several counties and jurisdictions converged on an overturned trailer and truck that had been stolen in Flowood. Cops everywhere. Cops reported suspect was no longer in area. Next day he was spotted and arrested right there in the area. Time for training.

Now we have deputies rolling out of their vehicles and being shot. Time for training.

Patrolling the roads is obviously different from responding in critical, life-threatening situations. Time for training.

Our hearts go out to these officers and their families. You are loved and appreciated everyday in many ways by most of the citizens of Madison County. Please keep us posted as to the progress of these officers.

Good ole boys and their guns...I bet there was a red flag or two...

7:37 Have you seen the photos of the incident? Might want to hold your comment till you see this one.

Just an off the top of my head thought.

Boondocks is for sale, is there a Southeast Law Enforcement Assocation that could buy it or long term lease it and operate is as the Southeast branch of Gunsite?

Officers do not usually have the training and mindset for these situations as they happen so infrequently and then they are more worried about prosecution than staying alive. This stuff happens in fractions of seconds and the one who has the advantage is the one who does what is not expected.

If you want to feel really sad about the state that we are in as a country/society, go read the comments on the WLBT facebook page regarding this incident. People aren't angry that the jerk shot a police officer in the head, they are angry that the jerk is white and still alive. Their first thought in all of this is that if he was black, he would be dead.

9:06 shut up!!!

Well 9:44, historically if he was black, not only would he probably be dead, also his name would have been released and charges filed before noon.

Shame on you 11:12. You are no better than the people on WLBT FB page.

The truth hurts, Godspeed to the Deputies.

I am so tired of the race card being played. There were LEO officers of every race & both male & female on duty that day. They are annointed by God in a calling that most people don’t understand. They deserve our love, support & respect every day,
