Suspect held as 8 killed in Mississippi
Print Edition
AUTHORITIES in Mississippi say a suspect is in custody after eight people were killed in a shooting, including a sheriff’s deputy.
Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said the shootings occurred at three separate homes on Saturday night in rural Lincoln County. Two of the homes are in Brookhaven and one is in Bogue Chitto. The area is about 109 kilometers south of Jackson, the capital.
Strain said investigators were gathering evidence at all three locations.
Strain said charges have not yet been filed against the suspect, who was arrested in Brookhaven, and that it would be “premature” to discuss a motive.
However, the suspect himself gave a bizarre insight into the events that led to the shootings in an interview with a newspaper.
“I ain’t fit to live, not after what I done,” Cory Godbolt said after his arrest.
The newspaper recorded video of the suspect talking as he sat with hands cuffed behind his back on a roadside surrounded by law enforcement officers.
