This just in: Woman kills jail escapee who kicks in her door
An inmate who had escaped minutes earlier from a county jail in South Carolina was shot and killed by a woman after he kicked in her back door. It actually has positive statements about gun ownership
COLUMBIA, S.C. — An inmate who had escaped minutes earlier from a county jail in South Carolina was shot and killed by a woman after he kicked in her back door, the local sheriff said.
The inmate was still in his orange jail jumpsuit and had grabbed a knife sharpening tool from the woman's kitchen in Pickens as he headed toward her bedroom around 3 a.m. Tuesday, Pickens County Sheriff Rick Clark said.
"This was a big guy. If she hadn't had a weapon there's no telling what would have happened," Clark said. "I gave her a big hug. I told her how proud I was of her."
The woman was home alone and had gone through training to get a concealed weapons permit, Clark said.
Bruce McLaughlin Jr., 30, died from a gunshot to the head, Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley said.
McLaughlin and a second inmate, Timothy Dill, beat up two guards in an escape they had planned for days, Clark said at a news conference.
Dill was recaptured by deputies without incident about the same time McLaughlin was shot, but the two were going in opposite directions, the sheriff said.
The guards had bruises and one complained of a sore back, but they should recover, Clark said.
Inmates tried to help the guards while they were attacked, Clark said.
McLaughlin and Dill stole the guards' keys and locked them in a room, but inmates also broke the door down, the sheriff said.
Dill is charged with escape along with two counts of kidnapping, and first-degree assault and battery as well as other charges.
McLaughlin had been in and out of the Pickens County jail about a dozen times on charges ranging from drug possession to assaulting a police officer to shoplifting. He was currently awaiting trial on first-degree burglary and grand larceny charges, according to sheriff's office records.
Dill was awaiting trial on a criminal sexual conduct with a minor charge.
The sheriff said the homeowner was shaken by the shooting and asked him to help her maintain her privacy. He did not release her name.
Clark said he thinks the shooting is justified, but will forward the case file to prosecutors once the investigation is finished.
"This is the shining example" of why owning and knowing how to use a gun is important, the sheriff said.
"She came out on the good on this end and the other guy, the bad guy, didn't," Clark said.

It's a shame the other didn't catch one too. He deserved it even more from the sounds of his charges.

Re: This just in: Woman kills jail escapee who kicks in her door
"In and out of jail about a dozen times” that is one of the problems here."
This is the problem. A dozen times officers put their ass on the line to arrest this piece of shit. only to have him put back on the street.
Thank God this woman had the means to defend herself.
