Knoxville Man Who Killed Two Burglars Will Not Face Charges

By Baker Associates

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Knox County District Attorney?s office has decided not to prosecute 21 year-old Douglas Jordan, III for fatally shooting two burglars who were attempting to rob his home shortly before midnight on June 27 of this year. Jordan apparently came home and found the two men, Adam Pfeiffer, age 25, and Jimmy Cannon, age 39, still in his house in the midst of bagging up his possessions. According to Jordan, the men attacked him as soon as he walked in, but Jordan was able to retrieve a gun from his waistband and fatally wound both attackers. The Knox County district attorney?s office was considering whether to charge Jordan with homicide, but determined that he acted in self-defense and did not deserve to be so charged.
