Fake Police Officer May Be Behind Highway Shootings In Mississippi

Two shooting victims along Mississippi highways may have been killed by someone who posed as law enforcement and pulled them over late at night, authorities said Monday.

Investigators were not releasing many details, including whether they believe a single gunman is responsible or what type of weapon was used, said DeSoto County district attorney John Champion. Champion said the shootings are related, but there's no evidence to suggest that the victims knew each other.

Champion acknowledged those rumors and did not rule out that theory. He advised motorists concerned about stopping for a law enforcement vehicle to call 911 to confirm that the traffic stop was legitimate. He said motorists also should put on their flashing hazard lights and drive to a safe, well-lit area until they receive notice that the stop was real.
