A police officer and a murder suspect were shot dead as the accused man was being questioned in the police headquarters in Jackson, Miss., on Thursday.

The incident began when cops brought the suspect to the headquarters building downtown Thursday afternoon, Jackson Police Chief Rebecca Coleman said.

“He was being interviewed on the third floor of the police department,” Coleman said.

“Later we heard that … shots had been fired and upon our arrival we found the suspect is deceased and we have a police officer that’s deceased."

NBC station WLBT reported said the officer who was killed was identified by police as Eric Smith, a homicide detective who was married to a fellow Jackson Police Department officer.

They have two children.
