KILLEEN (March 16, 2009)—Fort Hood soldier Jamar Mcnair Jones, 18, was in the Bell County Jail charged with burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit theft Monday after a Killeen woman shot a man who tried to force his way into her home.
The woman called 911 early Friday morning after the would-be burglar fled.
She told officers she was awakened by the doorbell around 4 a.m. Friday.
The front door of the woman’s home had a viewer, but she told officers she was unable to see who was ringing the bell so she opened the door slightly.
When she did, the man attempted to force his way in.
That’s when she fired.
While officers were interviewing the woman, other officers at Metroplex Hospital advised them that a man matching the description of the would-be burglar had just arrived at the emergency room for treatment of a gunshot wound.
The man was transferred to Scott & White Hospital where he underwent surgery to remove the bullet, police said.
Jones was arrested after he was released from Scott & White Monday evening, police said.
His bond was set at $500,000.

Yeah I think it is more to the story. Yeah if someone I dont know is knocking at my door at 4am, yeah....he is lucky to be alive. Cause I would have busted a cap in his a** and made sure I aimed at his heart. People are crazy in this world and dont mind taking your life. I pray that the brotha gets help, cause something isnt right.
all i have to say is..yes he was wrong for what he did and yes the woman was right to protect herself but murdering someone is going to the extreme..she did what she had to do to make sure she was ok and i think that is exceptable..if i were in this situation i would have done exactly what she did..but honestly no i wouldnt have tried to kill him..yes i do know jamar and i dont know what caused him to do what he did but he is truly not a bad person and no it wasnt PTSD for whom ever tried to be funny..no one know the cause of his actions but would you have wanted her to kill you?..i say aim to injure so that justice can be served but to kill is ludacris in this situation..everyone haves there own opinion that is true but this is just something to think about even though we all say we may never do this crime but if you ever did for God knows what reasons..would you have wanted her to kill you?
hey baby boy...all these people can say what they want and critize you but they all dont know the truth..keep your head up and it wont be long till your free again..just dont make the same mistake twice..i miss you xoxox
