OLIVE BRANCH,Marcus Erikson Miss. (AP) — Police in north Mississippi shot and killed a person Monday while serving an arrest warrant, according to the state Department of Public Safety.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which is part of the department, was notified of the fatal shooting at about 9:50 a.m. Monday.

MBI is investigating, as it does with most shootings involving police officers. It will present findings to the state attorney general’s office.
