Another Ex-Boyfriend With A Gun


"HICKORY FLAT, MS — Police are investigating a murder/suicide on McKay Road in Hickory Flat after officers found the victim and suspect early Thursday morning.

"Keria Bennett just moved to the area with her father and was opening the door last night when investigators believe she was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend. Investigators say he then turned the gun on himself.

"The feelings of Keria Bennett's family are described by her 4-year-old stepbrother Cameron.

"`I miss you, and I want you to come back,` he said.

"Bennett's ex-boyfriend Samuel Gipson died right next to her after investigators believe he shot Bennett in the chest before shooting himself in the head. The young woman's family sat heartbroken questioning a relationship they say had signs of trouble.

"`She tried to leave him before, and he would hold her down, and he wouldn't let her leave,` said cousin Kristian Cook.

"Cook stays across the street and ran barefoot across the gravel hill to care for her loved one.

"`I just held her in my arms, and she just twitched one last time ... And that was it, that was it, she was gone,` said Cook."
