Suspect caught in killing of Mississippi officer at station.
Less than 24 hours after police say a Mississippi man gunned down a uniformed officer in police station parking lot, the now-arrested suspect was marched on Monday night back into the same Biloxi police station.
Atkinson, tall and lanky in a blue and black baseball jersey, gave something close to a grin as officers yanked him from the back of a police cruiser and paraded him past watching reporters and cheering police officers back in Biloxi, only feet away from where McKeithen was gunned down after 10 p.m. Sunday night. The 23-year-veteran of the Biloxi force had been planning to retire this year.
"Next we want to make sure that we have a solid case," Miller said."We want the district attorney to be pleased with the case we present, and we want this guy to pay for what he's done."Biloxi Police Department / AP Miller said earlier Monday that the suspect, then still unidentified,"seemed a bit nonchalant" as he walked around. Miller turned the investigation over to the neighboring Gulfport Police Department, saying it was better to have an outside agency investigate the death of one of Biloxi's own officers.
Authorities withheld details of the shooting itself, but Miller has said that"with all of Robert's training, I don't know that there was anything else he could have done." Immediately after the shooting, McKeithen was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
