A paralyzed South Carolina homeowner shot and killed an intruder who had broken into his home, the Anderson County Coroner’s Office announced.
According to Greenville Online, 33-year-old Orlandous Brown of Easley, South Carolina, was at home confined to his wheelchair when a 26-year-old Atlanta man tried to burglarize his own. Brown shot the man “multiple times,” and was also shot himself, Chief Deputy Coroner Charlie Boseman said.
Last thursday at 12:35 a.m., the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office was notified by Latisha Vernon — a friend of Brown’s — about a burglary in progress. When they arrived, Vernon and her daughter were in standing in the driveway calling to them. After they were moved to a safe location, police entered the house, where they discovered two men with gunshot wounds in the living room.
