The Vicksburg Police Department says a woman repeatedly tried to gain entry into an 82-year-old man's home.

The woman had come to Roosevelt Wilson's home several times in the past two weeks claiming to be delivering meals, WLBT reported.

Police say Wednesday she forced her way in.

"She tried to get in, but I wouldn't let her in. 'I'm so and so. I brought you some meals', and I said put them down on the porch. She wouldn't. She left and came back again for something else," Wilson said.

Wilson retrieved a .38 caliber handgun from underneath his pillow and fired tree times.

Vicksburg police said Betty Robinson, 42, was hit in the leg.

Wilson, who is a retired Vicksburg Military Park worker said he was robbed earlier this year by another woman who delivered meals to his home. He said Robinson knows her and thought she victimize him as well.

Robinson was transported to River Region Hospital in Vicksburg then transferred to the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Police say she will be arrested when released from the hospital.

Robinson's boyfriend, Carl Marshall, 55, is also in custody. He is charged with home invasion.
