A witness reported that Jones put the woman in a chokehold, but she was able to escape and the two returned to the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones later showed up at the home where he allegedly tried to kick in the screen and front door.  The homeowner, luckily, had a firearm in the house. He armed himself with a pistol and fired two or three shots in Jones\u2019 direction causing Jones to flee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/building-my-ultimate-p365-edc\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"south-carolina-homeowner-defends-home-from-break-in\" title=\"70-Year-Old Homeowner Shoots Alleged Intruder\">Building My Ultimate P365 EDC<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Police soon reported to the scene where they found blood leading away from the door.
