According to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, 29-year-old Roger Robertson forced his way into a South Carolina home and assaulted one of the residents on Wednesday.
WSPA reports the resident fired a single round, striking Robertson in the chest.
“My little brother was just able, thank God, able to access his handgun and fire a point shot,” said Lee Tallent, relative of the resident. “It makes me feel like I wish I had been here. Me and my brother are real close.”
Robertson fled the scene in a waiting vehicle that was taken to an area Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
WSPA reports that the incident was a burglary and the resident was attacked with an object by Robertson.
