Thursday feel good story
Chief Tango sends us a link from Spartansburg, SC where a homeowner was watching television and then felt a cold metal object to her head. She turned to see two men who had broke into her house and they were pointing a gun at her. She screamed;
The woman said when she started yelling, her husband cam[e] to her assistance and started to get into a physical altercation with one of the suspects who dropped a gun.
According to the sheriff’s office, when the second suspect fired a shot at the husband, the husband picked up the gun that was dropped by the other suspect and returned fire.
Deputies say they found one of the suspects shot in the face and on the ground face down in the driveway of the home. Authorities say the other suspect had already fled the home.
From Fox Carolina;
Deputies said neither resident was injured during the home invasion. Ivey said investigators do not yet know if the victims new the intruders but believe the motive of the home invasion was robbery.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger identified the man killed as 21-year-old Delano Anthony Turner, of Wellford.
Turner’s uncle, Fred Turner, said he was the cousin of the homeowner who fired the gun.
Deputies said Tuesday that Turner did have active warrants against him when he was shot.

I love these feel good stories.
“they found one of the suspects shot in the face”
That brought a tear to my eye. I love happy endings.
I am sure Delano was turning his life around when he was shot in the face…..one less dirt bag….
@3 And friends all agreed that Delano was a real stand up guy, one who would give you the shirt off his back. I remember years ago reading in the Colorado Springs paper about such a guy that ran on for many paragraphs until the last one where it casually mentioned the jerk had a 14 page rap sheet.
Here is his mug shot:

Now, just imagine that face with a bullet hole in it.
Another happy ending. A good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun.
Well I have a feeling this guy is going to buy himself a gun soon.
On the other hand, I weep for journalism when I read in the original article. Deputies said neither resident was injured during the home invasion. Ivey said investigators do not yet know if the victims new the intruders but believe the motive of the home invasion was robbery.
Shouldn’t it me investigators don’t NO if they NEW them??? The Sniper must be grinding his teeth. LOL
Ivey said investigators do not yet know if the victims new the intruders but believe the motive of the home invasion was robbery. No of course not they were there for the lasagna they smelled the homeowner baking. What a retard statement. Sorry again my TAH friend but you say it better than I. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! I hope the face shot was fatal.
Sparks: I think we can presume it was. The article Jonn linked to has a headline reading “Intruder fatally shot in the face by homeowner in Spartanburg Co.”
Yes indeed: “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
@10 Good shootin’ homeowner!
@9 Some serious problems with the English language in the article but yeah, since the coroner said the man was killed, I do believe the shot to the face was fatal.
@12 Pinto, Yeah… Generally the Coroner making a statement makes a statement all it’s own.
Guess poor ole Delano won’t get his life turned completely around?
