The Clarion Ledger, Jackson, MS, 07/07/2008

Monday, July 7, 2008

Edwin Chinn, a 71-year-old Jackson, MS, resident who was attacked by a burglar two years ago, shot a man Wednesday he suspected of breaking into his home. Chinn had been shot in the back by the previous burglar, but was armed and ready for Wednesday’s confrontation. After the burglar forced his way into the residence through a kitchen window, Chinn shot him once in the abdomen and once in the arm. Braggs had previous convictions for business burglary, and police will charge him with house burglary once he is released from the hospital, Jackson police spokesman Sgt. Jeffery Scott said. Investigators detained Chinn for questioning but did not charge him, citing the Castle Doctrine law that allows residents to defend themselves and their property against perceived attacks.
