GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Though he was slashed several times, a retired pastor who lives in Greenville County managed to shoot and kill an intruder Tuesday night, deputies said.
Deputies said they were called to the home on Lake Shore Drive, just down the road from the Donaldson Center Airport, at about 11:30 p.m. The homeowners, 70-year-old William Willis and his wife Judith, were at the home when they arrived. They said Judith Willis was sitting on the side porch in her nightgown, her arms covered in blood.
Investigators said Judith Willis told them that she woke her husband after she heard a noise in another room. William Willis grabbed a gun that he kept in the bedroom and went to investigate.Willis said he confronted a man that was in another room. Deputies said Willis was cut several times during the scuffle, the most serious wound to his arm.
Deputies said Willis shot the intruder several times. He later died at the scene.Investigators said that Willis was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital. As of noon time, he was reported to be in good condition."
Another instance of a brave man unwilling to go down without fighting back. Shame a certain doctor living in Connecticut didn't feel that HIS family was worth fighting for, but THIS is how it is done.
AND...here's the clincher:
"The coroner's office has identified the man who was killed, but they are trying to notify his family before releasing his name.
His last known address was at the Greenville County Detention Center."
