Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
Deputies responded to the residence but were unable to locate the subject.
Further investigation revealed that the male had contacted friends threatening to take his own life with a firearm. Deputies were later able to locate the subject’s vehicle at the Lakeland Place Memorial Cemetery on Lakeland Drive.
As deputies attempted to check the welfare of the suicidal subject they confirmed he was armed and standoff ensued.
After extensive negotiations with the suicidal male he fired a single shot into his own torso. Medical personnel arrived on scene and began treating the subject who was later transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
For purposes of transparency, Sheriff Bailey has requested that the MS Bureau of Investigation take over the scene in order to conduct a subsequent investigation of this incident.

This was a feminine cry for help. Men don’t end it this way. When a man decides his time has come, he wraps everything up quietly, spends a last day with his people. Then he goes off somewhere to get the job done uninterrupted. Only someone who is truly not ready tells everyone for attention and hopes that somebody stops them.
