He grabbed a pistol near his bed just as an armed man burst through his bedroom door. The intruder immediately saw that he was in Jackson's sights and did an abrupt about-face. Jackson related what happened next to the Times and Democrat: "I thought for a second, 'What if he gets clear and then turns around and shoots up my house with that submachine [the gun was actually a Tec-9 semi-automatic pistol].'" Jackson fired at the man, striking him in the back of the neck.

When questioned about the shooting, Jackson didn't regret for a moment what he did. He told the Times and Democrat, "I worked hard for what I got. I hate a thief, I hate a thief."

He added, "You can't do without a gun in Orangeburg."
