GULFPORT, MS — A family Easter egg hunt organized by Empowerment Ministries Christian Center turned tragic on Saturday when a domestic dispute escalated into a deadly shooting at the Goldin Sports Complex. One church leader was killed while intervening to protect others, and an armed bystander ultimately stopped the threat by shooting the suspect, whose identity was later confirmed by police.
As reported by WLOX, the shooting began around 2:05 p.m. when 24-year-old Tyran Deion Gable of Saucier got into an argument with the mother of his child during the church’s community event. Witnesses say the situation quickly turned violent when Gable pulled out a firearm and opened fire on those attempting to deescalate the situation.
Deacon Eddie Shed, 39, head of security for the church, was fatally shot while trying to intervene. According to The Sun Herald, Shed died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. A second church member who tried to assist was critically injured and airlifted to a hospital in Mobile, Alabama.
