PRENTISS, Miss. (AP) - An attempted murder-suicide in Jefferson Davis County has left one person dead and two injured in an early morning shooting.
WDAM-TV (https://bit.ly/2rVndcD ) reports Sheriff Ron Strickland says the shooting happened about 3 a.m. Wednesday.
Strickland says a domestic dispute between Lee Sandifer and his 47-year-old girlfriend, Christine Lewis, led to the shooting. He says Sandifer shot both Lewis and the couple’s 10-year-old son in the head before shooting himself.
The coroner’s office sent Sandifer’s body to the State Crime Lab in Jackson for an autopsy.
Lewis was treated and released from an area hospital. The couple’s son is in critical condition at University of Mississippi Medical Center.
