Maiso Jackson woke up around 4:30 a.m. after he heard a man outside banging on his front door, he said.
The man was “talking about how someone owed him money, I said, ‘No one here owes you money,'” Jackson said, according to FOX 2. “‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.'”

“He wouldn’t leave, so I dialed 911,” Jackson said.
As Jackson waited for authorities, the man attempted to break in.
“Then, he went around the window here and busted that window out,” Jackson said.
Jackson had lived in the home for 20 years and was ready to defend it.
A lawful gun owner of eight years, Jackson said he had taken lessons on how to handle and use the weapon.
“I came outside and said, ‘You have to leave, you can’t be doing this,'” he said. “So, then he reached for his gun and pulled it out. I had to defend myself, I had to shoot him because of that.”
Jackson fired four shots into the man’s chest, killing him, police said.
“I had to do what I had to do, to save my life,” he said.
“It was me or him at that point,” he said. “I didn’t want to hurt nobody, but he just wouldn’t quit.”
Jackson cooperated with police upon their arrival.
“I was just in shock, he wouldn’t leave. He tried to kill me, and I didn’t do nothing to the guy,” Jackson said, recalling the situation. “That’s the part that’s kind of sad.”
“You have to be on guard, you have to be prepared,” he continued. “You can’t just let people run you over, hurt you, and don’t do nothing about it. You have to defend yourself.”
