MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has identified the individual who was killed in an officer-involved shooting in McNairy County on Saturday.

Just after 3:00 p.m. Saturday, officers with the Selmer Police Department responded to a report of a suspicious person outside a residence in the 100 block of New Bethel Road.

The TBI said preliminary information indicated that when the first officer arrived, he encountered 39-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Holmes.

Holmes allegedly attacked the officer before firing several shots, striking the officer and fatally wounding him.

A second officer arrived at the location and returned fire, striking Holmes. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The identity of the officer who was killed is not known at this time because the TBI says they do not identify the officers involved in these types of incidents and instead refer questions of that nature to the respective department to answer as it sees fit.
