JACKSON, Miss. (Reuters) - A man and woman in Mississippi were arrested and charged with murder on Sunday after two police officers were shot dead a day earlier while conducting a routine traffic stop in Hattiesburg, officials said.

Authorities had launched a manhunt after at least one suspect fled the scene of the shooting in a police car later found abandoned, and residents in the city about 80 miles (130 km) southeast of Jackson were told to stay indoors.

Marvin Banks, 29, and Joanie Calloway, 22, were each charged with two counts of capital murder, police said.

Banks' brother Curtis, 26, was also arrested and charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Police said a fourth man, identified as Cornelius Clark, was arrested later on Sunday in connection with the case and booked on an obstruction of justice charge.
