One man was killed Wednesday morning in a shooting on Summer Oaks Drive in Lamar County.

Forrest County Deputy Coroner Lisa Klem identified the man as 42-year-old Terrence Baker.

Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel said the department received a call of the shooting around 7 a.m., when they found Baker with a gunshot wound to the chest.

He died later at Forrest General Hospital.

Rigel said the shooting took place at the home of a 42-year-old woman, who is being questioned at this time.

Other witnesses also are being questioned.

Rigel said the shooting appears to stem from a domestic incident. Although he is ruling it a homicide, he is not calling it a murder at this point.

No other information is available at this time.
