Capt. Clark McMinn, Conservation Manager at the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks' District 1 office in Tupelo, confirmed the incident did take place, but did not have additional details, including the location.

"That incident is under investigation since it appeared to be a hunting-related incident," McMinn said.

Attempts to get additional information from the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks' Jackson office were unsuccessful.
