    CATAWBA COUNTY, North Carolina (WLOS) — A North Carolina man who was shot after breaking into his grandfather’s home last week has died from his injuries.

Police said Jessie Gibson, 34, died Tuesday night at a Charlotte hospital.

Detectives said the grandfather shot Gibson during a home invasion in Long View a week ago.

Investigators said Gibson was wearing a mask when he assaulted his grandfather during the robbery attempt, and when his grandfather shot him he did not know the man was his grandchild.

The mask was found during a search a short distance from the scene, and Gibson was found injured at his home about a mile away after his girlfriend called 911.

The district attorney said no charges will be filed.
