Gun dealer shot in home invasion

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.


Rankin County Sheriff’s Office Searching for Home Invasion Suspects

On January 26, 2017, at approximately 0200hrs, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from Flowood Merit Health Hospital that a 61yoa male victim had arrived at the emergency room with multiple gunshot wounds to the legs. Deputies were dispatched to the emergency room as well as the victim’s residence.

The victim stated that he was at his residence in bed when he heard a noise at the front door, he went to the door and was met by a male wearing a ski mask. The male entered the residence and demanded money from the victim. The victim said he heard the voices of two other males speaking. The victim was then struck in the head with a pistol by the suspect. The victim was forced to open a gun safe where he keeps his weapons. During the robbery the victim was shot multiply times in the lower extremities. It appears that approximately 30 weapons were taken. The victim advised after the suspects left, he made his way outside and was able to climb into his vehicle and drive himself to the hospital.

We want to reassure the citizens of Rankin County that this was not a random act of violence. The victim was known to at least one of the suspects and was targeted because he was a firearms dealer.

The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office has multiple investigators working the case. The U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force both are assisting in the investigation. The Sheriff’s Office has developed numerous suspects and we are currently gathering evidence that we believe will lead to the arrest of these individuals.

I wonder if it was the dealer featured in the JJ post recently: http://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2017/01/milli-yungs-big-day-out.html

May want to start with those patrons or their friends.

In other words, he traded the guns to cover a debt he owed, and then shot himself in a non life threatening part of the body and concocted this story.

What a rude comment, 4:45. A man has been shot and you are making up stuff without checking the facts. This man is a respected person in the community.

Yep I Agree there is more to this story, why wouldn't he call the police himself?

Who opens their door at 2:00 am to a guy wearing a ski mask?

Somebody's got some 'splainin' to do.

PS

This really lets the air out of the argument that you need a gun at home to protect yourself against an armed intruder.

The gun dealer in that video was in Laurel

Hello? Who's Dere? said...

I don't buy it for a minute. A gun dealer, of all people, is not about to open his front door at night to an unknown visitor making noises.

A follow-up story will reveal this to be bullshit. If not, at least I gave it the old try.

PS: Desperate people do desperate things...even respected members of the community.

The AG's Office should get involved in this one.

BS

Agreed. People that have 30+ guns in their house don't answer the door at 2:00am not locked and loaded and without thinking this through.

Signed,

Guy who has 30+ guns at his house and friends with gun dealers with way more than that.

Proper planning would have him leaving one gun way out in the front yard so it would appear, upon investigation, that the perps dropped one in their haste to escape.

Odd that they left all the ammo in the safe. Must be headed on down to
Academy.

it doesn't say he answered the door, nor does it say he opened the door. it says her was MET at the door by the masked robber. I read it as the noise he heard was the door being broken down...

Agreed. This story is fishy. No one with 30+ guns in their house "goes to the door" at 2:00 a.m. without carrying one of them along.

Anonymous said...

It would seem like a gun dealer would have a gun on his self before answering the door to an unknown person at 2am. He could have, at least, asked who is it?

This is a factionalized account of what really happened. The ski mask wearer would be "deceased" as The JPD spokesperson calls those brought to room temperature in the Bold New City if he had been anywhere near a home with an arsenal inside. Total BS.

Its not only 'factionalized', it's fictionalized.

Where's the follow up to this mythical story?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
