A Brundidge man died on Saturday after he was shot by Waveland, Miss., police, who said he pulled a weapon.
Clayton Lane Marsh, 31, was shot after a chase behind an auto shop in Waveland.
Mississippi Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Johnny Poulos said Waveland police responded to a suspicious vehicle behind the Travel Express Inn on U.S. 90 about 3 a.m. Saturday. Police said when the man fled, the officer chased him on foot. Poulos said the man displayed a weapon during the pursuit and the officer shot him.
