JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Law enforcement officers were justified in using force in five shootings in Mississippi between 2021 and 2023, including a shooting involving an escaped prisonerstate Attorney General Lynn Fitch said Monday.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation examined each of the shootings and the attorney general’s office reviewed the findings.

Leake County Sheriff Randy Atkinson, three of his deputies, four Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents and a National Park Service game warden were involved in the confrontation with escaped inmate Dylan Arrington on April 26, 2023.

Arrington, 22, had escaped from the Hinds County Jail and barricaded himself in a home in the Conway community near Carthage, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) northeast of the jail.

Arrington set the house on fire after exchanging gunfire with officers, Atkinson said. Arrington’s body was found in the charred house.
