An intruder Gabriel Matthew Wilson who entered a Mississippi home armed with three handguns and wearing a bulletproof vest took a woman hostage and then shot two police officers, killing one and wounding the other during an eight-hour standoff Thursday that ended with their death, police said.

Who killed Gabriel Matthew Wilson?

“Today, Mississippi mourns Officer Tyler, his loved ones, and the rest of the law enforcement community,” Republican Gov. Tate Reeves said in a statement. “Their courageous sacrifice of him probably prevented others from being killed or injured.” Dearman said at a news conference that the shooter was identified as Gabriel Matthew Wilson, 22, of the city of Pearl.

Brandon Police received a call at 1:20 AM. m. that a man in a tactical vest with two handguns and a rifle was trying to break into a house where two women were, Dearman said. He said investigators believe one of the women was Wilson’s girlfriend.

The chief said one woman quickly escaped and Wilson held the other hostage until police brought him the water he demanded. The officers dumped the water inside the house and got out, and the hostage escaped unharmed. “From our conversations with him, he was there and he was looking for a fight,” Dearman said. Wilson’s mother was at the scene helping police speak to her son, the chief said.

Dearman said that several hours after the confrontation, two officers were standing outside when Wilson began shooting at them from inside the house. The shots wounded one of the officers, who works for the Brandon Police Department. Dearman would not release the name of that officer, but said he was shot in the side while wearing a bulletproof vest.
Hours later, police sent a drone to the home, and its video showed Wilson lying on a mattress, Dearman said. A team of officers entered to try to end the standoff.

“I think the drone may have hit a ceiling fan,” Dearman said. “When he woke up from that point, he grabbed the rifle again, and that’s when he fatally shot the officer (from) Madison.” After Wilson fired several shots, he added, “some of the team members ended up having to subdue the subject.”

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is looking into the case, as it does most shootings by or by law enforcement officers in the state. The MBI will then turn its findings over to the state attorney general’s office, Department of Public Safety spokesman Bailey Martin said.Read More…..
