A man who shot an alleged burglar outside a Reidsville business was acting in self defense, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page said Monday afternoon.
Jesse Ray Walker, 28, of Reidsville, is dead. He was shot early Monday morning outside Hall Well & Plumbing on Flat Rock Road by Steve Hall. According to Page, Hall lives next door and is vice-president of the company.
During a press conference Monday, Page said Walker was shot in the torso.
Hall was awakened by an alarm shortly after 3 a.m. When he went outside, Page said, he saw Walker and another man, Brandon Joe Hanks, pushing away rolls of copper.
Hall told the men to stop, Page said, at which point Walker charged at him. That’s when Hall fired.
