ST. JOSEPH, MI – A jail inmate who was being transported from a Berrien County Courthouse holding cell Monday grabbed a security officer's handgun, triggering a fight that left him and two security officers dead.
"A fight occurred with that inmate on the way to the courtroom and the inmate was able to disarm one of the officers," Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey said. "We are still investigating to find out what officer. The inmate was able to get that gun and shoot the deputy and shoot and kill two bailiffs. He then shot a civilian in the arm and was taken down by two other bailiffs that came to render aid along with several other officers."
Both bailiffs, who had worked in the Berrien County Courthouse for at least 10 years, were killed in the scuffle that Bailey said took place at about 2:15 p.m. in a corridor outside a courthouse holding cell.
The inmate was subsequently killed in a shootout with responding police officers. Bailey said he was still working to learn what charges the inmate was facing.
