Natchez, Mississippi

From the Natchez Democrat of October 25, 2006
Man shot after breaking into house

A teen that allegedly broke out a window in an occupied home got more than he bargained for Wednesday morning.

Charles Edward Noble, 18, was later arrested on charges of robbery with a deadly weapon, but not before a visit to the hospital.

“The complainant was laying in bed,” Police Chief Mike Mullins said. “An unknown subject knocked out the window near his bed and yelled at him to lay on the floor.”

The resident of the house at 10B Shaw St., then reached for a handgun and fired three shots, Mullins said.

“He heard a scream in pain and called the police,” Mullins said.

The resident later found the front door to the house partially open, and officers found a tennis shoe outside the window.
