JACKSON, Miss. -- One Jackson store owner decided to fire back when a man tried to rob his furniture store, police said.
Jackson Police Department Officer Colendula Green said at about 5 p.m. Monday, a man carrying a gun walked into City Furniture on Bailey Avenue. The store owner started shooting at him and the man ran away without stealing anything, Green said.
Green said no one was hurt.
Robert Leon Jackson, 22, was later arrested in the area of Wood and Huron streets and is charged in connection with the attempted robbery, Green said.
Jackson has previous armed robbery and auto theft convictions and was on probation at the time of his arrest, police said. He is expected to appear in court on Wednesday, police said.
Mandatory range time for store owner.
Wise move. Maybe criminals aren't so stupid after all...
