MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Corinth, Mississippi, involving the Alcorn County Sheriff's Office that occurred on June 8.

Alcorn County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a call for service on County Road 575 in Corinth, Mississippi, around 3:30 p.m.

The first deputy on scene observed a white man hit a white woman, later identified as his mother, in the head with an object.

The suspect was transported to the hospital at Magnolia Regional Health Center.

The deputies involved did not suffer any serious physical injuries.

The MBI states that this information is preliminary and subject to change. MBI is currently evaluating this incident and gathering evidence.
