Business owner shoots, kills intruder

Police say a Jackson man was defending his business when he shot and killed an intruder on Saturday.

Jamie L. Rose was declared dead on the scene at First Line Automotive on Highway 80 and Gault Street after police say he was trying to break into the store.

The store owner allegedly shot and killed him when he realized he was trying to break in around 11:10 p.m. Rose was armed.

Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Colendula Green said the business owner was protecting his property, which would fall into the category of justifiable homicide.

The case will be sent to a grand jury.
