I'm so sorry. Praying for his family.
No words.
My sincere prayers of comfort for his loved ones, in a time when there can be none. I am so sorry for their loss.
A selfless servant who put the community's safety above his own is truly a loss for us all.
My most sincere condolences to the family.
He was a really good guy. Condolences.
He was a fine man and raised some good kids. He didn't deserve to go out this way.
Why exactly was Madison PD in Brandon? Sheriff Bailey has swat and armored vehicles to take the guy out. I'm confused!
Police got on radio this morning asked for help. Various agencies responded.
Law enforcement agencies have interagency agreements to support each other in circumstances like this morning.
Thoughts and prayers
A senseless tragedy. Praying for the officer's family and those whose lives he touched. May they be comforted and supported in a special way bye a caring community.
Assumptions here but thinking there would have been a wife or sig/other along with some kids, there's gonna be a lifetime of nightmares for several families that'll relive this tragedy forever.
So sad.
That picture of the fallen officer brought tears to my eyes.
150 rounds massive gunfight to advance into, such life risking brave heroism usually avoidable. Gratitude for ultimate sacrifice.
He was one of the good guys. Lifetime of committed law enforcement. So sad that lost his life this way.
Heart wrenching for this family. Praying for them all.
suspect was only 22
Thank you Kingfish for your reporting. I just watched WLBT's report at noon and the reporter was standing by the side of the road whining that she didn't have many details including the names of the dead and wounded because the police hadn't given her any information. Good grief! This is a tragedy and the dead officer was well-known and gave his life protecting us against this evil. Our prayers for the dead officer and the wounded and their families. And our thanks to you for your reporting.
For all of us that you protect we need no explanation! 1 Samuel 2:30 says it all. God used his people to protect us and God too protected him. It was just not the way most expected. God called home another faithful servant & removed him from the evil we face daily.RIP loving servant
For ever person that (rightly) criticized the Uvalde police response...I hope you understand and praise these brave law enforcement officers in Mississippi.
I cannot imagine doing their job.
Prayers sent.
RIP Chief Tyler.
I hate to see any officer harmed. I am so sorry for this loss. My prayers to all of his family and friends. Rest in the Lord's hands.
@106 pm: do you know the suspects name?
All you libtards who still think police are the problem in society today need to STFUp! Y’all and your criminal family and friends are the problem!
Why in the world would they try to enter the residence? Shoot some tear gas, light the house on fire.... he will come out eventually.
The only way this is going to stop is anytime someone attempts to use a weapon against and officer is to kill them. This is the only thing that is going to stop this and to hell with what the woke ass liberal media says about it and any of these so called groups. This officer was as a good a man as you would have ever known.
2:00, Brandon PD Released a statement naming the suspect as Gabriel Matthew Wilson. He did not live in the home.
Society has indeed gone to shit.
A former chief kicking in doors? I agree with the tear gas comment.
@2:10 PM - To rescue to hostage. Try to keep up.
A good man. He will be missed.
This would have been a good time to deploy the MRAP.
Just like ll:38 said....
A fine man that raised good his children right.
Prayers to his entire family.
This incident will long be a training exercise in how NOT to diffuse a domestic call. One of, if not THE, most dangerous and volatile of all calls that warrant immediate LEO response.
The perps in these circumstances are wired, angry, emotional, torqued, aggressive and hostile...Feeling they have nothing to lose they are aggressive and willing to kill anything in their path or line of sight. They're also OK with being dead.
Y'all, he didn't kick in the door... he was shot while out in the street like all the other LEOs... was behind something.
Police don't run in, they are horrible and cowardly.
Police do run in, they are dumb and should have known better.
Yall just need to join the force since you could clearly do better in life and death scenarios than me or the trained officers.
Also yes, moot point here since he was not shot while breaching the home.
@8:21AM - You nailed it. To all of the trolls commenting on this blog and armchair quarterbacking this disaster, y'all need to shut the hell up. If you haven't worn a badge and taken a bullet, you have no clue. Personally, I'm going to refrain from comment about it other than to offer condolences because I wasn't there.
Know why? Because I've done both. The day can go straight to hell in seconds.
12:34 is 'going to refrain from comment', but only after he comments.
