发帖数: 37081 | 1 Washington (AFP) - Two brothers were arrested Sunday over the killing of two
police officers in Mississippi, local media reported, less than a week
after a New York officer died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Police officers Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25, were shot Saturday
and taken to a hospital where they were confirmed dead, The Clarion-Ledger
newspaper reported, citing Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict.
Officials did not give details on the motive of the attack but said the
suspects, Curtis Banks, 26, and Marvin Banks, 29, were arrested early Sunday
morning, ending an hours-long manhunt, according to the newspaper.
Both men were reported to have criminal records, which include drugs and
weapons-related charges and felony convictions.
A third woman who was allegedly in the car at the time of the shooting in
Hattiesburg city was also taken into police custody.
"No sir, I didn't do it," Curtis Banks said when asked whether he had shot
two officers, the Clarion-Ledger reported.
The killings come in the wake of another police shooting in New York, where
plainclothes officer Brian Moore, 25, was shot in the head and died Monday.
At least five police officers have been killed in recent months in the
United States, including two other New York policemen who were shot in
December.
Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree decried the latest killings.
"The men and women who go out every day to protect us, the men and women who
go out every day to make sure that we're safe, they were turned on tonight,
" DuPree said, according to The Clarion-Ledger.
The newspaper said that one of the officers pulled a car over Saturday
evening, approached the vehicle, and was joined by a second officer before
shots were fired.
One of the suspects allegedly fled in a police vehicle, which was later
found abandoned.
A neighboring police force in Oxford, Mississippi mourned the slain officers.
"Both Hattiesburg Police Officers have died. Terrible. Prayers to the entire
community and families," the Oxford force said on Twitter.
The Clarion-Ledger said it was the first police killing in Hattiesburg in 30
years.
The deaths come at a time of racial tension and protests over police
brutality, most recently in the case of a black man who died April 19 from
injuries suffered while in police custody in Baltimore.
