Coroner: Police kill gunman at Mississippi church

LEXINGTON, Miss. (AP) ? A coroner says police fatally shot a Mississippi man after they were called to a church because of a dispute over the firing of a pastor.

Holmes County Coroner Dexter Howard says 26-year-old Cacedrick White died Sunday afternoon at a hospital after being shot by police in Lexington, which is about 55 miles north of Jackson.

WLBT-TV (http://bit.ly/14RM65N ) reports police were called to Asia Missionary Baptist Church to escort the pastor from the property.

Holmes County Sheriff's Office Capt. Sam Chambers tells WAPT-TV (http://bit.ly/189d6kt ) White got out of a vehicle with a gun and started walking toward officers in the church doorway. Police say he refused a command to set down the gun.

Howard says White was the son of a deacon at the church.
