A 76-year-old woman was killed in a shootout as a gang tried to rob her outside her South Carolina home in the early hours of Saturday. She may or may not have had enough for three hits of their favorite recreational drug.
Dorothy Hendrix was shot twice by the gang of two men and a woman, but she managed to shoot one of her assailants in the stomach before dying of her wounds.
Steven Hagood, Tereba Geer, and Bradacious Galloway have all been charged with murder.
Tereba? Bradacious? WTF? Too bad she couldn't have put one (or both) of those two out of their misery, instead.
'She fought. She was a fighter. She shot him,' the victimÂ’s brother, Ronnie Lollis, told WYFF News Channel 4.
Ms Hendrix, who was known as Dot to her friends, had been returning to her Anderson County home at 1am when the gang allegedly tried to rob her.
The 76-year-old fired at the group and one of them
I just had an idea: If only guns were illegal!
Then nobody there would have had a gun, nobody would have left their home that night, and there would have been no confrontation!
Why didn't I think of this before?
Well, either that or Dot wouldn't have had a gun . . . .
A neighbor called police after hearing the gunshots, but Ms Hendrix died outside her home while a relative held her hand.
I'm going to guess that Dot knew she may well get killed, but preferred doing us all a service either way.
Hagood, who she shot in the stomach, was taken to hospital where he is under guard. As well as being charged with murder, the 33-year-old has been served with a family bench warrant for unpaid child support of $80,000.
Two of the gang had what looked to be current mug photos. I'm guessing that they recycled one of Hagood's old mug photos for this article.
