Officer James Lee Tartt Sacrifices Life While Protecting Mississippi City Citizens Police got a call to a house in Mississippi City, where an armed man suspected of possession of narcotics was hiding out. When police arrived, they entered into what would become a 6 hour standoff. After waiting and negotiating with the man, police decided to enter the house, where they were instantly fired upon by the armed man. Officer James Lee Tartt, 44, was killed by gunman Charles Lee Lambert with a high-powered rifle. Three other officers were injured in the process. Lambert was eventually killed after a lengthy shootout. Lambert was hiding with his wife and 10-year-old daughter, who have been taken into custody by the police. Tartt had spend most of his career trying to keep illegal drugs off our streets, and eventually gave his life to the cause. He deserves our utmost respect, and his family needs our prayers.
