A Port Gibson man turned himself into Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department officials and was said to be the shooter.

Carl Brandon, 53, no address available, was being held in the killing, authorities of the both the police department and sheriff’s department said.

Police said Brandon waited for Burrell in an SUV outside the law office of Drake and Burrell at 710 Market St. with a 12-gauge shotgun. After he fired a fatal shot, he proceeded to the home of Claiborne County administrator James Miller and fired a shot into the house, police said. No one was injured there.
