A former police chief working for the Brandon (Miss.) Police Department was shot and killed Thursday during a hostage situation turned standoff.

According to WLBT in Jackson, Horren Randy Tyler was the former police chief in Ridgeland, Miss. A second, unidentified Brandon officer was also shot and suffered “significant injuries,” but is reported in stable condition.

The standoff began as a hostage situation, with police summoned to a home in the Crossgates neighborhood of Brandon about 1:30 a.m. Thursday on a report of a domestic dispute between a man and woman.

Several hours of negotiation resulted in the woman’s release, but the man did not surrender himself to police.

The first exchange of gunfire happened about 6 a.m., with one officer struck during that exchange, and the second around 9:30 a.m. It was unclear which officer was hit during which exchange.

The second exchange also resulted in the suspect being killed, according to the report.

According to Madison police, Tyler and other members of the department’s Special Response Team were on the scene to assist Brandon police and other law enforcement.
