From the February 20, 2007 Charleston Post and Courier:
An intruder kicked in the back door of a house and confronted three adults and a child inside, Summerville Police Capt. Jon Rogers said. Jamond M. Simmons, the homeowner, grappled with the man, who was shot with his own gun and taken to Medical University Hospital, Rogers said.
Here is Simmons' account of what happened: An intruder, whom Simmons said he did not know, burst through the door demanding money. Simmons told him there wasn't any money in the house. The man threatened to start shooting people if they didn't give him something of value. When he turned his head, Simmons lunged forward and grabbed him. There was a scuffle, and the intruder was shot in the stomach.
"I just thank God none of my family got hurt," Simmons said.
Bryan B. Green, 18, of Ladson underwent surgery Monday and is recovering, Rogers said.
