A possible suspect in a shooting that killed three people at a hotel on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast was found dead hours later after a stand-off with police in a nearby city.

Adam Cooper, the Gulfport Police Department’s incoming chief, said that the man holed up at a Gulfport store after fleeing from a vehicle that had been carjacked.
