Waffle House also prohibits firearms in its restaurants unless the customer works in a law enforcement field or the military, Warner said. “I mean, this is ridiculous”, said Linda Illing, a nearby resident. “Therefore, a funeral won’t be placed unless we come up with the money and family located”. She died a short time later at Merit Health Biloxi.

“Is the death penalty going to be involved in this charge?” suspect Mount asked Judge Fountain. Mount asked Judge Fountain. The court will appoint a public defender to represent Mount, who indicated he wished to speak to an attorney.

A Mississippi Waffle House waitress who was shot and killed after asking a customer not to smoke was a 52-year-old who spent some of her final moments asking patrons how they enjoyed their Thanksgiving, authorities and witnesses said.

Mount pulled out a 9mm handgun and shot the woman. Mount allegedly suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident. In the middle of the night, Mount was struck by a vehicle as he stood in the middle of a highway. Friends and former colleagues of Mount tell the Associated Press that he previously worked as a firefighter but left the department in 2002 after being hit by a auto.

Biloxi police Sgt. Donnie Dobbs said Johnny Max Mount, 45, is accused in her killing. “He wasn’t a monster”.

“I knew the name immediately”.

“I don’t know what would happen to push him to that”, Boney said. “This tragedy doesn’t just affect this one restaurant”. It’s a tragedy for both families.
