MOSS POINT, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi man has fatally shot one burglar and seriously wounded another during an early morning break-in.

Moss Point Police Chief Brandon Ashley tells The Sun Herald that resident Michael Richardson woke up Monday morning to a loud noise and grabbed a gun. Ashley says Richardson heard someone say “Nobody’s home,” and then two people then burst through his front door.

He says Richardson opened fire, and 18-year-old Titus Kelly Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene. The other suspect fled. Police soon learned that a 19-year-old man named Antonio Jackson had been taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds to his chest. Ashley says Jackson was in serious condition and flown to an Alabama hospital.
