Finley responded to a call about a suspicious person just after 3 p.m. Saturday.

A second officer, identified as Lt. Ron Pilkington, arrived moments later and "was able to return fire, killing the suspect," Selmer PD said.

The incident is under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
