According to police, Coffee County Deputy Wade Bassett went into the holding cell at the Coffee County Justice Center to take inmate Michael Bell back to jail. Bell overpowered Bassett and was able to get his gun. He then shot Bassett before running down the stairs. When Bell got to the first floor, he shot Deputy Wendell Bowen on his way out the door. Bell then ran about a block away and entered a home on Madison Street. He then left the home and ran into the yard of another home, where he was later found dead after shooting himself in the head.
