Correction: The original headline stated the crime happened in Northeast Jackson. Crestview Drive is by Meadowbrook Road. However, the crime happened on Crestview Street, which is behind MBMC. The press release states "Crestview Street." However, there is no Crestview Street in Google Maps and it defaults to "Crestview Avenue", which is behind MBMC.
The Capitol Police issued the following statement.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting involving the Capitol Police Department that occurred on February 14th near Crestview Street.
Officers with the Capitol Police Department responded to a call regarding shots fired. Upon arrival, an officer found one individual lying in the street suffering from an alleged gunshot wound. While the officer was with the individual, the subject began firing shots in the direction of the officer. The officer then discharged his weapon. Shortly after, a second individual exited the residence suffering from an alleged gunshot wound and stated the subject had committed suicide. The subject was found inside the residence with an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Both injured individuals were transported to a nearby hospital. No other injuries were reported.
MBI is currently assessing this critical incident and gathering evidence. Upon completing the investigation, agents will share their findings with the Attorney General’s Office. This information is preliminary and subject to change.
Additional information may be provided at a later time.

Murder suicide pact most likely. Some high end houses over there. This also happened in Brandon around thanksgiving. Husband died bc he was cheating
Google maps indicates that there is no Crestview STREET in Jackson; only Crestview AVENUE (Belhaven) and Crestview DRIVE (Meadowbrook).
I too confirmed this through the Hinds County Assessor's website, which indicates a Crestview Place, Drive, Cove, Avnd Avenue, but no street. Good luck when you call 9-1-1 in Jackson. When seconds count they are minutes away.
It's a Neighborhood Watch area!
WLBT has a video report on this situation.
The reporter is standing at the intersection of Crestview Avenue and Manship Street the camera is looking South on Crestview Avenue. The Capitol dome is visible in the distance to the South (aligned along the Crestview Avenue alignment.)
How good are the 911 operators?
There was no comment from the new police chief of Jackson?
She's still trying to figure out which Crestview it is!
