"I ain't fit to live, not after what I done," ^ a handcuffed Willie Corey Godbolt, 35, told The Clarion-Ledger; (he's got that right).
The gunfire erupted Saturday night at Godbolt's in-laws' home in Bogue Chitto after the deputy arrived in response to a domestic disturbance call, and spread to two houses in nearby Brookhaven.

The slain deputy was ^ William Durr, 36. Deputy Durr was a husband, father, and two-year sheriff's department veteran and former police officer in Brookhaven, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of Jackson.
Godbolt himself shed some light on what happened, in an interview he gave to the newspaper as he sat with his hands cuffed behind his back on the side of a road.
"I was having a conversation with her stepdaddy and her mama and her, my wife, about me taking my children home," he said. "Somebody called the officer, people that didn't even live at the house. That's what they do. They intervene." "They cost him his life," he said, apparently referring to Durr. "I'm sorry."
After fleeing his in-laws' house, Godbolt killed four more people at two other homes, authorities said. The ex-wife and the couple's two children escaped harm; it was her relatives who died.
