A 76-year-old woman was killed in a shootout as three thugs tried to rob her outside her South Carolina home in the early hours of Saturday. Dorothy Hendrix was shot twice, but she managed to shoot one of her assailants in the stomach before dying of her wounds.
Steven Hagood, Tereba Geer, and Bradacious Galloway have all been charged with murder. See Picture below. On the far right is Ms Hendrix.
‘She fought. She was a fighter. She shot him,’ the victim’s brother, Ronnie Lollis, told WYFF News Channel 4. Ms Hendrix, who was known as Dot to her friends, had been returning to her Anderson County home at 1am when the gang allegedly tried to rob her.
A neighbor called police after hearing the gunshots, but Ms Hendrix died outside her home while a relative held her hand.
Hagood, who she shot in the stomach, was taken to hospital where he is under guard. As well as being charged with murder, the 33-year-old has been served with a family bench warrant for unpaid child support of $80,000. He was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Hendrix brother thinks they are the same three that robbed her once before. After the first robbery Hendrix purchased a handgun and obtained a permit to carry it legally.
President Obama, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton are not expected to offer any comments on this shooting…seems there’s nothing to be gained. It’s strange that these three were actually armed with guns. I have to wonder, didn’t they know that it was illegal to carry guns to rob people? I bet they didn’t have a gun safe in their home either.
Good Lord … what would you have them say?
How about: “If she’d handed the robber her purse, she’d still be alive. She made her choice.”
Or maybe: “The state goes around serving $80,000 child support warrants on unemployed guys, and those guys are gonna do desperate shit. We made our choice.”
Libby, you managed to blame everyone in this story but the criminals.
You’re saying she should have trusted the people holding guns on her and not resisted? How do you know they wouldn’t have killed her anyway? At least she shot one and that led to two more captured. She did society a big favor by getting these preditors off the street and she paid for it with her life, the least you could do is not blame the victim. Geez Libs, where’s you compassion? She was a nice lady and now she’s dead because of these thugs that came to her home to rob her.
Re #2 Jack:
What more evidence do you need to confirm that Libby is a heartless and complete lunatic? If it were Libby being robbed would she have invited them all in for a cocktail and have written a letter to the Governor insisting the unpaid child support be forgiven for this poor, dear, desperate robber dirt bag?
It is very sad that Dorothy Hendrix did not get the drop on these murderous scum and lost her life defending herself and her home. May G-d rest her soul. Now, maybe, these brutal thugs will not be preying anytime soon on some other victim thanks to her courage.
This happened in California? Apparently these thugs had no problem obtaining their guns…or ammo! What do you want to bet only Hendrix had a gun permit?
“It is very sad that Dorothy Hendrix did not get the drop on these murderous scum ….”
Which, as a practical matter, a 76-year-old isn’t going to do.
I’ll tell you what’s sad … this myth about the wisdom of elders. All the elders I know are sadly deluded about their abilities, and making extravagantly stupid decisions that, far from keeping them out of “the home”, are gonna land them there all the sooner … or in Dorothy’s case … get them killed. Infuriating.
Thanks Obama that is all your fault
