Cheers to a happy ending...hopefully! ...the shooting is considered justifiable homicide and will be brought to a grand jury. Is this the norm?

Mississippi Man Kidnapped from Home, Shoots Attacker Dead

A man in central Mississippi was kidnapped, but later retrieved a gun and shot one of his suspected attackers dead, police said.
The man was outside his home early this morning, putting items into his truck, when two armed men approached him, according to ABC News affiliate WAPT-TV in Jackson.

The alleged kidnappers then forced him back inside to get his wallet and took him to an ATM to withdraw money, Jackson, Mississippi police said.
According to the police, one of the kidnappers threatened to go back to the victim's house and hurt his wife.

The man retrieved one of his own guns from his truck and shot one of the suspects dead, police said.
The man was not injured, police said. His identity has not been released.

The second kidnapper remains at-large, police said. He is described as 5'9" or 5'10" tall and was last seen in a tan SUV with no tags.
According to WAPT, the shooting is considered justifiable homicide and will be brought to a grand jury.

Other reports indicate that this was an MD who was kidnapped when loading up his truck getting ready for a handgun competition.

So much for "competition games will get you killed".

Victim selection fail.

Those animals would have been better off selecting a golfer rather then a competition shooter.

I doubt ubr the knew what he was loading in the truck, otherwise, the guns would have been a better score than the cash.

A golf club was used to kill a drug dealer in Onset a few years ago, that could get ugly.

So glad he didn't live in MA. He and his wife would either be dead or he'd be in jail now.
