Younger (14) teen brother shots and kills 23 y/o sister (mother of 2) during dispute over Christmas present allocation. Older sibling (15) intervenes and shoots 14 y/o. In what world do juveniles in a "home" environment come with their personal handguns, 40 and 45 caliber no less.
I’m 62, and Christmas wasn’t over until someone took a shotgun blast.

Correctional Officer shot, killed at prison at Lost Gap
LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Miss. (WTOK) - A guard was shot and killed at the East Mississippi Correctional Facility in Lauderdale County Tuesday afternoon.
Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun said two correctional officers who work there got into a fight, which led to one firing on the other, killing one. It happened in the parking lot around 1 p.m. Deputies and EMS responded. The suspect was immediately taken into custody.
Names of those involved were not immediately available.
Calhoun said both guards were on duty so this is an officer-involved shooting. The investigation will be handled by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
News 11 has obtained a statement from the East Mississippi Correctional Facility’s Public Relations team at Management & Training Corporation, which operates the prison:
“We are heartbroken to report a tragic and fatal altercation that occurred between two correctional officers at the East Mississippi Correctional Facility. The incident happened in the parking lot of the facility on Tuesday, December 26 at approximately 1:00 p.m. CST. Officers immediately responded after hearing a gunshot and placed the suspect in restraints. Local law enforcement and emergency personnel arrived soon after. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect was taken into custody and is currently being processed by the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office. The facility is fully cooperating with local law enforcement as they investigate what led to the altercation. Our hearts go out to the victim’s family. MTC is committed to supporting them through this very difficult time.”
This was in the parking lot, so one might suppose it before or after a shift. I'd be curious to know if the weapon was a duty weapon or privately owned. I suspect the latter. In the jail I worked for, COs rated for firearms did not bring their own weapons. All arms were owned by the jail and checked in and out at shift change.
From the story: Calhoun said both guards were on duty so this is an officer-involved shooting.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

Sounds like he saw the three men robbing the Sheetz and confronted them, not sure if he was armed or not but even without more details, this seems to be a good (though tragic) reminder that interfering in a criminal but non deadly force incident may not be the best idea when outnumbered.

Shooting at a high school in Iowa.
The shooter is dead, apparently by self inflicted.
"Multiple" victims transported but no word on whether that means 2 or 20.
The Iowa shooter was a 17 year old using a pump shotgun and handgun. He killed 1 6th grader and wounded 5, including the principal. An explosive device was found.
