The shooting happened around 5:45 p.m., the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said.
“This is an ongoing investigation; MBI will not comment further at this time,” MBI told Fox News Digital.
Authorities have not said what prompted McGinister to pull out a weapon. Footage of her shows her screaming and waving a gun. No one else was injured during the shooting.
At one point, McGinister sees someone filming her.
“Hey, I’m not trying to hurt anyone,” he yelled.

“Why don’t you let her go then please?” replied the man who was filming.
“We’re not going to do this crooked cop,” she yells.
