A Vicksburg man was taken to a Jackson hospital Thanksgiving night after being shot several times by his ex-girlfriend, Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

Jackie Wesley, 35, 100 Sherwood Drive, was at his home around 7:45 when his ex-girlfriend, Canary Doss, 28, 2619 Togo St., drove into his driveway and asked to see him, Williams said. Wesley came out with several other people to speak to Doss. Doss pulled out a handgun and chased Wesley around the house to the backyard where he was shot, Williams said.

Wesley was taken to River Region Medical Center, then transferred to University Medical Center in Jackson, where a hospital official said this morning he was in stable condition.

Doss left the house before police arrived but was arrested just before 10 p.m. when she waved a gun in the 1200 block of Jefferson Street. Police were responding to a report of attempted suicide. After being taken into custody, police found the gun Doss was holding had been stolen from a car in Vicksburg. No details were available about when and where the gun had been stolen.

Doss was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a stolen weapon and was being held without bond in the Warren County Jail pending an initial court hearing.
