GREENVILLE Co., S.C. (WSPA) -- Deputies are investigating the fatal shooting of a suspected burglar.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said a resident arrived home Friday morning and found someone inside their home on Easterlin Way.
Deputies say the resident fired at least one round before going outside to call law enforcement.
Officers responding to a reported burglary at the home found the subject dead in a closet.
A family member of the resident tells 7News his niece arrived home after dropping her children off at school and smelled something strange.
That's when Douglas Sweeney said she went to her car for a gun that she legally carries, returned to her home and found a man in her closet.
Sweeney said she shot the man after he lunged at her.

ReplyDeleteAlways shoot twice.
ReplyDeleteThough I have no problem with the outcome, she may have a difficult time explaining why she didn't call the police when she noticed suspicious activity in her house before re-entering her house.
