From Sunday World:
Dorothy Hendrix returned home at about 1am when two armed men and one woman approached her attempting to rob her, coroner Greg Shore said.
Hendrix pulled out a gun and fired at the suspects, and one of them returned fire, hitting her twice. One neighbour reported the gunshots to police.
Hendrix, known as “Dot” to friends and family, managed to shoot one of the intruders in the stomach before she died at the scene. The other two suspects ran off.
The wounded suspect was taken to the hospital for surgery, Shore said. The Anderson County Sheriff's Office said they will release more details after they interview him.
Lollis said this wasn't the first time Hendrix was attacked. In October 2011, deputies said Hendrix was at the same home when she became the victim of an armed robbery, a case which has not yet been solved.
According to Lollis, Hendrix bought a gun and learned to fire it for protection after the first attack.
And the NFL says we shouldn't be warning people that they need to protect themselves?
Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
