This is a perfect example of why sometimes you need more than 6 rounds. (3 armed attackers)
A man and his son were standing outside their home in the 1100 block of Garden Park Drive at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday, when three men wearing masks walked up to them and demanded money and keys to their vehicle, said Sam Brown, public information officer for the Jackson Police Department.
"The victim's wife exited the home and fired multiple shots, striking one of the suspects," Brown said in a news release.
The 17-year-old was shot once and died at the scene, Brown said.
"The other suspects fired multiple shots and fled the scene on foot," Brown said.
Brown said officers identified a 16-year-old suspect who was later arrested at a home on Violet Street.
