Federal officials investigate fire at beleaguered police department in Mississippi
Federal and local investigators are examining whether the blaze was intentionally set after firefighters quickly extinguished it, officials said.
- Early today, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local agencies began investigating a fire at the Senatobia Police Department headquarters in Mississippi. The Senatobia Fire Department quickly extinguished the flames.
- Located 65 kilometers south of Memphis, the department serves a community of 8,000 that has faced significant outrage in recent months. The tension stems from an officer's shooting incident that drew widespread community anger.
- In recent months, an officer fired into a vehicle and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley while responding to a shoplifting call at a Walmart. The two women in the vehicle denied stealing anything, and no charges were filed.
- Earlier this year, the police chief was fired for alleged racist slurs revealed by investigative reporting. The officer involved in Wiley's shooting resigned after the Mississippi Attorney General cleared him of criminal wrongdoing.
- Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire or whether it was intentionally set. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives continues reviewing the incident with no immediate details on structural damage.
