Cop Shoots Self In Parking Lot After Being Suspended


Story out of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi:

A Mississippi police chief who had just been suspended shot and killed himself in the police department’s parking lot, officials said, in what was described as “a bad day for law enforcement.”

Bay St. Louis Police Chief Mike DeNardo shot himself in the chest, Hancock County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Don Bass said. He said the Thursday shooting appeared intentional.

“Our initial finding is a self-inflicted gunshot,” he said.

Bass said DeNardo was standing outside a vehicle when he shot himself. He did not have information on who found him and reported the shooting.

The mayor of the tourist-friendly beach community along the Mississippi Gulf Coast said DeNardo had just been suspended inside the police station when he went out to the parking lot and fatally shot himself. Specifics about the suspension weren’t available. Cont.
