A grandfather shot back and is believed to have killed a suspect in a home-invasion and attempted rape of his teen granddaughter on Monday night, Robeson County Sheriff's officials said.
The grandfather was also shot – but he also managed to shoot the 2 other suspects in the home-invasion and attempted rape, said Maj. Anthony Thompson with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office.
The incident started around 10 pm at a house on Yedda Road in Lumberton on Monday night when someone knocked on the home of the grandfather, his wife and their 19-year-old granddaughter, according to the sheriff's office.
Two of three men – all wearing black clothes, ski masks and gloves -- stormed into the house and demanded money, officials said.
The grandfather and his wife ended up in the back of the house and were directed at gunpoint to open a safe. The three men were all armed and tried to rape the teen girl, officials said.
The 67-year-old grandfather managed to grab a gun and shot all three of the suspects. The suspects fired back and the grandfather was hit several times, deputies said.
After that, all three wounded suspects fled in the grandfather's gold Cadillac.
Later, the sheriff's office was contacted when 2 men with gunshot wounds showed up at McLeod Hospital in Dillon.
Deputies received information that took them to Singletary Church Road near Lumberton where they found Jamie Lee Faison, age 20, dead inside the stolen Cadillac. He died from gunshot wounds, deputies said.
The grandfather was taken to a hospital and was later airlifted to another hospital.
A relative of the grandfather wrote on Facebook about the man's condition.
"He is out of surgery but is still critical in ICU!! Thanks everyone for all your prayers just keep them coming!!! But the intruders have been caught!!!" wrote Sherri Bridgeman on Facebook.
The two other wounded suspects were airlifted to other hospitals for emergency surgery. Those two men were identified as Brandon Carver Stephens and Jamar Hawkins, deputies told The Robesonian newspaper.
The three suspects are also believed to have committed other home invasions in the area, deputies said.
Agreed
Last week around 9 P.M. I heard someone knocking on the front door. I was already in bed but watching TV. By the time I got up and got to the door, no one was there.
I grabbed a powerful light and opened the back door but could see no one there either. I went back to the front and saw a young Black guy with his shirt totally unbuttoned. He was around 30 feet away and had obviously had been hiding somewhere around the house.
When I shined him with the light, he asked if I had a gas can. I told him I did but there was no way to get gas within several miles.
He then went to his car which was parked just off the road and promptly left. He obviously was not out of gas.
I could have kicked myself for answering the door unarmed. I don’t know why I hadn’t picked up a pistol because I normally would have.
I am grateful that I had not answered the door immediately because I am fairly certain he was up to no good. There are no Blacks living within several miles of here.
I did learn my lesson. Never again will I answer the door at night without a pistol in my hand.
The deceased’s picture looks like a selfie taken in front of a stall in a public restroom. Such class.
St. Skittles of the Blessed Hoodie!
Prayers up for Grandfather to recover. It really ticks me off when yutt-somethings attack old people.

When I think of classy selfies, this old one comes to mind.
Awesome Grandpa defending his grand-daughter!
Good for him!
Din’d Do Nuffin.
I tell ya, these dang Amish are getting out of hand!!!!
Jamar Hawkins huh?
Notice that the article made no mention of the color of the animals. That is a guarantee that they were some darker color than white.
And since one of the gunmen was killed the other two gunmen can be charged with his murder.
It’s too bad he didn’t get ALL of obamas’ sons.
Sounds like a Rudy Ray Moore movie.
That’s a restroom stall in the background. What sort of person puts a photo of himself in the can on his facebook page?
