Less than 24 hours after police say a Mississippi man gunned down a uniformed officer in police station parking lot, the now-arrested suspect was marched on Monday night back into the same Biloxi police station.

Biloxi Police Chief John Miller said one of his department’s officers was driving home through Wiggins, 40 miles north of the Gulf Coast city when the officer spotted a man at the side of the road who looked like the target of an intense manhunt.
