As expected.
The subject is deceased? which one?
She kept it real to the very end.

The one waving the gun around recklessly and endangering the safety and lives of others
I understand the young woman was stressed for some reason, but the huge amount of entitlement shown in risking the life of the woman taken hostage pretty much removes any sympathy I would have had for her. This is what the police do, when you start waving a gun around should you be surprised when they kill you?
The links to videos don't take you to anything related.
They should put it on a billboard. Gunman 0-citizens 1. Richland looking to improve the score!
The videos dont' show the cause of the gunfire but I would expect she decided to point at an officer. This is not a movie, police don't put their guns down to calm you down. That's not reality. Put a gun to someone's head (and yes, she had it jammed into the head of her hostage), you are going to win a prize. LEO has a responsibility to protect the innocent, which they did. They didn't come running in guns firing. As we have seen too many times, the criminal disobeyed an order to put their weapon down and pay the price. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yes, the criminal here needed help. There are people who would have helped her. But putting a glock to someone's head is not getting you any help and expecting an officer to put his gun down in a show of sympathy is more insane than anything. If this had happened in Jackson, the result would have probably been the same.
Who she want? Maggie Wade? Melanie Christopher? Howard Ballou? Are they all experienced hostage negotiators?
Mema paid those high nursing salaries not ummc
Thank you to Richland Police for taking her down instead of arresting her. You just saved the taxpayers millions in legal fees and the cost to imprison her for years.
Maybe my wife is right. I should just pay the 50% up charge at Target.
She F$&ked around, and she found out.
I can’t believe they killed this individual. How are they any better than the offender.
There needs to be a real conversation about mental health in this country. My prayers are for the hostage, and the officer that pulled the trigger. Both will have to live with this.
Once you take a hostage and hold a gun to his or her head, your life is forfeit.
You redneck once a week Christers ought to be really proud of yourselves during this holiday season. Rot in hell, all of you casually mocking the situation.
9:41 am Correct.
Just comply and she would’ve have this unhappy ending.
9:44, why not share your thoughts on the 30 y/o female gunned down in Jackson by a 17 y/o last night also. We'd all be interested to hear your take on that. Or do you just limit yourself to police related incidents?
Okay, I’m trying to understand what in the world the perp repeatedly said:
“Give me a newspaper now???”
Or was she saying something different?
9:44 AM
Go back to your "church" you Pickett hypocrite.
Perp chewing gum while holding a hostage at gun point. Never seen that before.
9:22 AM
For one the cops didn't take a hostage.
Pastor Pickett, you see how shit goes down. Not every situation is the same! Just let Law Enforcement do their jobs. This is a sad situation and the wrong way to get help.
Prayers to both families and the employees at all Walmarts.
Well 9:44, I'm very proud to know that we have competent law enforcement in Rankin county and not clowns like jackson.
This is what your entitlement of never being told "NO" gets you. Yea she may have acted a "Fool" in jackson and gotten away with it, but her KAREN act got her served......
Oh, by the way, I'm a Zero weeker as far as church goes, so shutup....
She was making herself a target, death by LEOcide?
Only one at fault for this is the woman taking a hostage. There are a bunch of ways this could have ended peacefully with no loss of life but unfortunately we can’t Monday morning quarterback. The cop decides the negotiate and the innocent Walmart lady gets shot. Nope. Kill the hostage taker at first opportunity. The innocent go home the guilty go to the morgue.
Fu&@ around, fu@$ around, pretty soon you won’t be around….
Some places in America still have penalties for breaking the law
Damn fine job Richland PD.
Poor thing. She must not have realized what side of the Hinds County Rankin County line she was on.
Oh 12:46, sounds like you're related to her.....must run in the family! LOL
9:44, if you believe in rule of law then this is what happens when adults are in control. And as far as the Christian comment, you’re probably one of the ones who protest with Stokes and his “preacher” buddies or you may like the “so called preachers” the mayor keeps close to him. Anyway, your comment proves you’re a marxist, pure and simple and you’re paid to troll this site. We don’t need or want your marxist comments. Thank you moderator for allowing me to comment.
Had she lived the minimum charge was Aggravated Assault and Kidnapping. Still better than dying for what amounts to nothing.
Did she hope to be killed by LEO as a form of suicide?
Meanwhile: At least every five minutes, Supertalk plays that eerie commercial that goes like this: "Make us part of your exit strategy. There's been an increase in suicide..."
Of course, subliminally and literally, suicide is indeed an 'exit strategy'. What the hell is up with that message?
In a civil society one must refrain from holding another hostage at gun point, no matter the cause.You comply or die when holding a gun.
First of all she was not mental or had mentally issues I believe she was caught up in sex trafficking and got away and went inside Walmart asking for help to expose these bastards she had 1,300 on her and was constantly asking for a news anchor to tell what happened to her she knew nothing about that town the family still trying not see how she got way down there when she never been there before They didn’t want her to get her story out so they killed her she was repeatedly asking for help so is that what they do to people who ask for help and a news anchor or supposedly mental kill them they not talking about how she put her gun down cooperating then they kill her Its more to this then they crooked ass saying That’s why she called the cop out he was involved We know all about the Sex Trafficking that goes on down there and police involvement because she is black she was killed but she saying she doesn’t want to hurt anybody but she need help it was told she ran inside the store asking for help why what happened to here that she needed help along ways from home and asking for a News Anchor To get Her Story Out she was about to Expose they Rotten ass So they couldn’t let her live and tell her story did y’all she the live where the hostage post of facebook and was order to take it down and deactivate her page cause she is the judge daughter No Want here about that live but screen recording a mf Tell what the hostage said that the officer didn’t have to kill her on her live show that like y’all showing these lives also I pray the family get Justice but the government system so messed up they cover they own and also take up for one another I pray Jesus Punish Him also Damn Man’s Law What about Jesus Laws Statues and Commandments all soon All Will be Judge
