"The Mount Vernon subdivision is usually quiet, but that peace was broken in this Lexington Drive home this morning. Detectives say 19-year-old Justin Brent Haynie got into his neighbor's home while she slept and put a knife to her throat.
Sgt. Calvin Chew, Richmond County Sheriff's Office: "He jumped on the bed and he started trying to cover her mouth because she was shouting."
During the struggle Sgt. Chew says the victim, a 57-year-old woman who lives alone, somehow managed to grab her .357 off the nightstand. That was something Haynie didn't know.
Detectives say as Haynie walked behind her with a knife to her neck, she quickly spun around and shot him in the stomach. Haynie grabbed her gun and ran. But he didn't get far.
Haynie is in serious condition in a local hospital. He's expected to be o.k. A list of charges is waiting on him when he gets out. They include burglary, kidnapping aggravated assault and weapons charges. The homeowner is not facing any charges."
