   JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - State police in Mississippi say a murder suspect shot a Jackson police detective and then shot himself at police headquarters.

   Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said Friday that Jeremy Powell shot Detective Eric Smith before killing himself, in the first official description of how the men died.

  The state agency took over the investigation from the Jackson Police Department.

  The men died in a third-floor room Thursday where Smith was interrogating Powell. Powell had been arrested in connection with the stabbing death of a 20 year old Jackson man.

   Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart says she will perform autopsies on Friday.

Friday, 05 April 2013 10:41 Published in Local News

   Two people are recovering from injuries after a tractor-trailer accident in Madison County.  It happened just after 8:00 Friday morning.  

   Police say the semi had been eastbound on I-270 when it left the road just east of the Canal Bridge.  The big rig broke through a barrier and rolled down to a construction road where it overturned.  

   EMS crews treated two people at the scene, including the truck driver.  

   It's not clear why the driver lost control of the semi or who the other injured person is.
