(Shelby County) A home invasion suspect is in critical condition after getting shot in S.E. Shelby County.

Shelby County Deputies were called to the scene in the 4400 block of Jonsey just before 9:00 p.m. Saturday night.

When they arrived they found a male with multiple gunshot wounds.

Shelby County Spokesperson, Chip Washington told WREG two suspects were trying to break into the home when someone from inside fired a gun, hitting one of the intruders.

The other suspect is in custody but has not been charged at this time.

We have a crew on the scene gathering information and will bring you the latest details on WREG Daybreak, starting at 6:00 a.m.

Me too. That’s the great thing about stories like this. Just the headline is all you need. Some criminal mastermind thinks he’s got an easy mark and BAM!! lights out, one dead criminal mastermind.

Anyone know the difference between a home invasion suspect
and a burglar? Not a joke, just asking.

The alleged burglar, who previously worked with the homeowner, broke into the house and the owner shot him, authorities said. He was flown to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis in critical condition.

Deputies identified the man as 20-year-old Rashawn Calvin. Calvin had worked with the homeowner at a moon bounce company some time before the home invasion.

No charges against Calvin have been filed yet, deputies said. The investigation is ongoing.

I’ll take a shot at it, no pun intended.

Burglary does not involve confrontation with a property owner or employee, being done at an empty property.

Robbery is done by way of home invasion with the owner present. In this case, we have the owner present, but since the perp never got to the robbery part, he can only be accused of home invasion.

One can invade a home with no intent to rob or burgle, but rather an intent to commit some other crime which I’ll leave to your imagination.
