The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting involving the Vicksburg Police Department that occurred Wednesday, MBI has announced.

MBI has confirmed the shooting occurred near a residence on Bazinsky Road in Vicksburg.

“Officers with the Vicksburg Police Department were attempting to serve a warrant at a residence in Vicksburg,” MBI officials said in a statement. “Upon arrival, officers encountered the subject, the subject displayed a firearm towards the officers. The officers then discharged their firearms striking the subject. The subject has been transported to a local hospital with serious injury. The involved officers did not receive any serious physical injuries. This information is preliminary and subject to change.”

Although MBI did not release a description of the individual injured in Wednesday’s shooting, a Black male was loaded into an ambulance near the scene.

MBI said it is currently assessing this critical incident and gathering evidence. Upon completing the investigation, agents will share their findings with the Attorney General’s Office.
