Suicide Attempt in Rankin

 Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement. 

Approximately 7:40pm on Friday, October 31, 2025, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department was notified about a suicidal male at a residence off of North Shore Parkway.

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.

So, 9:53. Are you saying that it is feminine for a man to cry out for help if they are having a mental episode or mental issues that make them think about taking their own life ?? There are lots of Military Veterans who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, who acted bravely and with honor when their Generals told them to kill, destroy, and annihilate the so called " enemies of the United States." It is not until they return home that the things they were ordered to do
start haunting them, and the nightmares and horrific visions will not go away.
So much so, that they start thinking about taking their own life , as so many of them already have. If they call the V.A., or some of their war buddies and reach out for help, then would you also label this as a " feminine cry for help " ? It just sounds to me like you are trying to say something like, only real men will kill themselves, alone, without telling anyone, and a feminine guy will tell people what they are thinking about doing, in the hopes that someone will intervene and stop them. Mental Moments, Depression, Severe P.T.S.D. from War, there are those who are smart enough to cry out for help, and there are those who are not. But I do not think defining a cry for help should be defined as Feminine.

9:53, The guy shot himself.

I’m sure he’s sorry it didn’t meet your definition of masculine suicide.

Hope the young guy pulls through, really terrible. Suicide is so very painful. Especially for the loved ones left behind.

he gave himsef a non-fatal wound

I think what he was referring to is the fact that, statistically, men shoot themselves in the head while women typically don’t. It’s rare for a man to shoot himself in the torso as a form of suicide. Not defending the comment, but it’s my interpretation

Kingfish probably revels in this. He’s a sick man who can’t stand good things. No wonder he loves Trump.

People who are really suicidal don’t tell people and then shoot themselves in the torso lol. Just some he just wanted attention. Smh

Somewhat disturbing that someone as deranged as 9:53 lurks among us.

The closet female at 9:53 needs as much help as the guy who shot himself.

We'll never know exactly what he wanted, but we know he didn't want to kill himself.

09:53 is correct unfortunately. I wouldn’t call it feminine, more of a cry for help/attention. It’s like saying across the street for attention, up the street for results with a blade. Yes, I’ve known several people the took their lives (military) and they were the quiet ones, the vocals ones were usually scammers or wanted attention.

I wish I was as omnipotent as the many commenters on here. The man was very stressed, cried out for help, and had police surrounding him. It may have been an accidental discharge. It may have been on purpose. We weren’t there. We won’t ever know. But here with are with all the internet experts and internet lawyers and internet counselors telling us what it is…. :facepalm:

@1:35 It hink you meant to say “omniscient”

What a stretch. I'm guessing you are @9:53.

He was at a cemetery. Perhaps a loved one had been buried there. Whatever his burden, I hope he gets the help he needs. And 8:54 offers good advice.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
