HATTIESBURG, Miss. (Associated Press) — Three people were arrested — and two were charged with capital murder — after two Mississippi police officers were shot to death during a traffic stop, a state law enforcement spokesman said Sunday.
The officers' deaths were the first reported in the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg in three decades.
Warren Strain, a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press that 29-year-old Marvin Banks and 22-year-old Joanie Calloway were each charged with two counts of capital murder.

Banks was charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was also charged with grand theft for fleeing in the police cruiser after the shooting, Strain said.
"He absconded with a Hattiesburg police cruiser. He didn't get very far, three or four blocks and then he ditched that vehicle," Strain said.
Banks' 26-year-old brother, Curtis Banks, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Officers arrested the three Hattiesburg residents at different locations overnight following the fatal shooting of the officers Saturday evening, Strain said.
"All three subjects were taken into custody without incident," Strain said, adding they were expected to face initial court appearances Monday. Because authorities said the three were being held at undisclosed jails in the state, they could not be reached for comment. It was not immediately known if they had acquired lawyers.
Strain said the three suspects were traveling in a Hyundai vehicle when it was stopped and that shots were fired by "one individual" from the vehicle.
He declined Sunday morning to say how many shots were fired or who had fired them. He also said any information about the officers' actions or what prompted the stop "would be premature to talk about" only hours into the investigation.
The official said Marvin Banks was found at a hotel in the area after Calloway was arrested at a convenience store. He added that Curtis Banks was taken into custody at a Hattiesburg apartment.
"At this point a weapon has not been recovered. However, warrants have been issued to search several properties in the Hattiesburg area. We are hopeful and believe that the murder weapon will be recovered," Strain added. "At this point, it appears to have been only one weapon."
Strain said both officers died of their wounds at a hospital.
Lt. Jon Traxler, a Hattiesburg Police Department spokesman, identified the officers who died as 34-year-old Benjamin Deen and 25-year-old Liquori Tate. Local reports identified Deen as a past department "Officer of the Year," and Tate was a newcomer to the force who Strain said was a 2014 graduate of the law enforcement academy.

"All I know right now is that there was a traffic stop and someone started shooting at them and both of the officers were struck," Traxler said.
The officers bodies were taken to a medical examiner's office in Jackson with autopsies pending, Strain said.
After the shooting, law enforcement agents swarmed the area. Many emergency vehicles, their lights flashing, could be seen and police initial asked nearby residents to shelter indoors while they sought suspects.
The state's chief law enforcement agency, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, has taken up the investigation, according to Strain.
Earlier, Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree told The Jackson Clarion-Ledger (http://on.thec-l.com/1GWpqRp) he lamented the deaths.
"The men and women who go out every day to protect us, the men and woman who go out every day to make sure that we're safe, they were turned on (Saturday) night," DuPree said outside Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, where the officers were taken.
The newspaper reported these are the first Hattiesburg officers to die in the line of duty in 30 years.
Hattiesburg resident Tamika Mills was quoted by The Clarion-Ledger as saying some bystanders came upon the officers on the ground, and that one of the officers asked "... 'Am I dying? I know I'm dying. Just hand me my walkie-talkie,'" Mills told the paper.
She added, according to the account, that seeing the officers down was "shocking and heartbreaking."
Lil Scrappy shared his thoughts on Plies getting body slammed last month during a Florida concert, and the Atlanta emcee told DJ Smallz that he's confused about how the whole incident took place. Scrappy said that his security would never let someone be that close to him on stage, and he was surprised that Plies didn't roll the same way.
Speaking more on the situation, the "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star said that the Plies situation is a lesson for all rappers to learn about having security at their concerts.

Dame recently accused Choke of stealing the footage. In this interview withDoggie Diamonds, Choke explains that everything was filmed with his own equipment and he was never paid for the work despite presenting Dame with invoices. Therefore, the footage belongs to him.
He goes into detail about his falling out with Dame, talks Rachel Roy and disses Funkmaster Flex and DJ Envy.
It wasn't common back in the day for 30-year-old rappers to still be in the game, but Twista told VladTV that 30 is the age when a lot of successful rappers have peaked. The Chicago emcee points out that Nas and Jay Z were around that same age when they were on top of their careers.
Twista elaborated more on the subject by saying that it's now possible for 40 and 50-year-old rappers to be relevant, and adds that Hip-Hop has evolved from its previous way of thinking.

Shad Moss a.k.a. Bow Wow has parted ways with the house that Bryan "Birdman" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams built.
Moss signed with Cash Money Records in 2009, but never released an album on the label.
The rapper released a Facebook video saying the split was amicable and explained his decision to move on.
"This is a peaceful situation," Moss said. "This is me waking up and looking myself in the mirror, analyzing myself and asking myself, 'What do want out of your career? What do you wanna do?' I have so much music that needs to be heard. That wants to be heard by my fans. And I feel like it's unfair. I've been quiet now for four years. I didn't wanna say nothing because I wanted to make sure the time was right. And I wanted to make sure that I said what I wanted to say, it was said correctly. With that being said I feel like I had to part ways."
The"Fresh Azimiz"rapper went on to say that one of the most frustrating things with his Cash Money situation was not being able to release the many songs he recorded.
"I wanna dictate when my music come out. I'm tired of going to the studio to make records and then I listen to them. 'Cuz then they get old. Then when y'all ask for new music I don't wanna hear it 'cuz I've been listening to it for two or three months. I just can't be held up up by nobody. It's as simple as that. I got a daughter. I gotta family I gott provide for. Why not go back to the creators and masters who branded me? That's Snoop Dogg and Jermaine Dupri. This is gonna make my new situation even more monumental. I wanted to be my own man. I wanted to be a boss and call my own shots."
