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.
Grandpa’s just taking out the trash.
Had the grandfather not been armed the innocent Trayvons would have gotten some bling and had some harmless fun and been on their way, safe and sound. No harm, no foul.
But NOOoooOOO.
The grandfather SHOT THEM!!!
FOR NO GOOD REASON!!!
This is going to be another Ferguson!!!
Somebody get ahold of Jesse and Al and Eric!!!
Are any of them “OBAMA’s Kids” (ie Illegal immigrants ) ??
May God bless the grandfather with a full recovery.
Satan, you have one of the perps in your grasp; you may have to wait a while for the other two.
The Perps stole the Grandfathers Gold Caddie, just guessing black on black crime? Don’t matter good shooting Gramps.
He stole the gun from one of them and shot with their own weapon.
Nice shootin’ gramps.
Prayers up for the recovery of the Grandfather and for peace of mind for his family.
It’s unfortunate that he was able only to kill the one perp. Hopefully, North Carolina law will make those two culpable for the death of the third and they’ll rot in prison.
Dig him up and shoot him again.
Savages.
The two other wounded suspects were airlifted to other hospitals for emergency surgery but somehow fell out of the helicopter at 1,500 feet.
He's a THIEF on top of everything else!
WOOOHOOOO Gramps!
Sounds like the Grandfather won the day. He’s a hero. No telling how many lives he saved by exterminating that piece of shit today. He didn’t go on to hurt and kill others.
Damn shame he didn’t kill every dammed one of them.
All of the gun control advocates would have preferred the girl raped, and the family robbed and or killed....
Hasta la vista, Trayvon.
Another St. Skittles, no doubt.
It’s funny how we keep hearing more and more about these kinds of stories while at the same time the gubmint is telling us that crime has fallen off dramatically since Obama rose to powah.
Two Sons of Obama and one feather Indian....
“gubmint is telling us that crime has fallen off dramatically since Obama rose to powah”
Funny, kind of like Deportation and GDP calculations.
If the gubmint says it, it must be true.
