Police Chief Henry Purnell tells The Greenwood Commonwealth that attorney Lee Abraham was talking with the agents about an alleged murder-for-hire scheme against him when two men came into Abraham's office Saturday night.
Leflore County Coroner Debra Sanders says 23-year-old Keaira Byrd was killed. She says he was shot several times, including a fatal head wound.
She says Derrick Lacy was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson with a bullet wound in the lower back, and an attorney general's agent received a less serious wound.
Purnell says the shooting is still being investigated.
Mayor Carolyn McAdams says Abraham was unhurt.
