An elderly couple is shaken up after a bold robber forces his way inside their West Jackson home.
Jackson Police tell us that the suspect Sidney Humbles, 39 showed up at UMC with a gunshot wound to the back.
He faces armed robbery of an occupied dwelling and simple assault.
Authorities say it happened at a house on Prose Avenue, just off Florence Avenue.
Humbles knocked on the front door and told the homeowner's wife that he had some donuts for her.
When she unlocked the door, he forced his way inside the home and knocked her to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, her husband grabbed his gun.
The homeowner shot Humbles, before he was overpowered by him, and had his gun taken away.
Humbles then demanded money and took the homeowner's wife's purse.
He ran out the front door, but before he ran off, he picked up a rock and threw it at the couple's front window.

One of those very rare instances where a homeowners gun is taken from them during a defensive situation. Notice that the criminal did not shoot them.

The homeowner shot Humbles, before he was overpowered by him, and had his gun taken away.
He needs to get a bigger gun.

Keep shooting at the range so you place the first round in a vital area

Anything that needs shooting needs shooting TWICE.

Forced his way inside and knowcked her to the ground? So, the elderly couple’s house had a dirt floor?
