The shooting occurred at about 5:45 p.m., the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said.
“This is an ongoing investigation; no further comment will be made by MBI at this time,” the MBI told Fox News Digital.
Authorities have not said what led to McGinister allegedly pulling out a gun. The footage shows her yelling and waving a weapon around. No one else was injured during the shooting.
At one point, McGinister spots someone filming her.
“Hey, I’m not trying to hurt anybody,” she shouted.

“Why don’t you let her go then please?” the man filming responded.
“We’re not doing this crooked cop,” she yells back.
