Manhunt Ends When Homeowner Fires Back
A quiet community in Mississippi turned into a full-blown manhunt and it ended the way a lot of these stories do.
With a homeowner forced to make a split-second decision.
According to reporting from 16 WAPT and WJTV, Attala County deputies were searching for 41-year-old Chris Hughes after a violent series of events left two people dead and a neighborhood on edge.
It started with the killing of 67-year-old Tim Lawrence on a rural county road.
From there, things escalated fast.
Authorities say Hughes was picked up by his cousin, 46-year-old Jeffrey Mallett Jr., in a gray truck. That truck later crashed about four miles from the initial scene, and Mallett was found with gunshot wounds. He later died at the hospital.
At that point, Hughes was on foot. And that’s when things took a turn that hits a lot closer to home.
Deputies say Hughes made his way to another residence and attempted to break in. But this homeowner wasn’t waiting to find out what happened next. He was armed.
And when Hughes tried to force entry, the homeowner opened fire, stopping the threat. Hughes was later pronounced dead at the hospital, bringing the manhunt to an end.

Maybe the homeowner thought he was a Jehovah Witness.
Never bring a Mallet to a gun fight……….
