The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations has taken over a case involving 
the Tuesday night shooting death of a man in the Buckatunna area.

According to Wayne County Sheriff's Department Investigator Lillian 
Poole, deputies were called to the scene of a Buckatunna business at 
11:39 p.m. Tuesday with a man saying he had been shot in the left leg 
and was bleeding pretty badly.

Deputies and Wayne General Hospital EMS responded and found Freddie 
Binder, 65, inside his vehicle. He was transported to Wayne General 
where the Wayne County Coroner's Office pronounced him dead.

Poole said MBI was called in to work the case and that the investigation 
is ongoing. She said investigators are looking into where the man was

but was unable to make it.
